More lost sales!)Д«ut thatвЂ™s not all! IвЂ™m not the only one pissed off about EAвЂ™s stupidity - countless review and news sites are also weighing in, and the reports arenвЂ™t good. (DonвЂ™t forget, вЂњalways onвЂќ DRM also screws over people who donвЂ™t have access to Internet for large periods of time, like rural areas and travelers.

Soooo, carrying the pi, we see that EA is already out 5,000 more sales than if they had just created a normal, single player offline capable game with multiplayer components. WeвЂ™ll say half those people listen to me and havenвЂ™t bought the game already. I just told those 50,000 people NOT to buy SimCity because EA cannot handle its s***, and the game is unplayable. I have 160,000 Twitter followers, of whom around 50,000 follow me for gaming. WeвЂ™ll assume that for an amazingly successful game like SimCity, about 20,000 people will end up pirating it (those who have the technical knowhow and Internet savvy to find a working crack).

SimCity is, at its heart, a single player game. EAвЂ™s servers are, to put it bluntly, utterly bug, and thereвЂ™s no option to play the game offline. Of those ten, four consisted of massive latency issues and corrupted games, so (quick calculation here), IвЂ™ve had access to the actual game for maybe 10 percent of the time IвЂ™ve had it. Of those 62 hours, IвЂ™ve been able to log in for around ten. And oh boy, does it hate working.ДЄt the time of writing this piece, SimCity 5 has been active for almost 62 hours. Unfortunately, the reality did not quite live up to expectations.ДonвЂ™t get me wrong, the game itself is great.
