Title: FU EA and your online single player ideals
Post by: -Sp()()ge- on March 08, 2013, 08:28:44 AM

Way to go EA by screwing the servers for SIMCity.  How about just letting us play offline!

Sometimes I wonder if these designers ever actually played a game in their life. Always on is a completely stupid Fudgeing idea.

And when they decide to close the servers down after a few years it is going to suck. That is exactly what they will do for BF3. When BF4 gets released they will just shut down the old and make you buy the new.

Maxis and EA have stated that anyone who activates a copy of Simcity before March 18. Will be eligible to obtain a free game through the Origin catalog. They will send out emails with a code I suppose which will allow a free game to be obtained.

BC2 servers are still up. 

While I think one day they may just get tired of supporting the master server and shut it down.  I dont think its gonna be any time soon.  But this is also true for any and all MP games that register to a master server.

Yeah that is all Kaiser plays these days. I keep pushing him to come over to BF3, but he has only played a few rounds since buying it.
