Ongoing problems with the latest version of SimCity led Amazon to briefly stop selling the game. [READMORE (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21712910)]

I thought they had learned from the fiasco of Diablo 3 launch but apparently not.

So happy that i haven't bought it yet.

Shame EA are so obviously trying to screw everyone on what could be such a great game.

Although from the reviews:
http://www.amazon.com/SimCity-Limited-Edition-Pc/product-reviews/B007FTE2VW/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 (http://www.amazon.com/SimCity-Limited-Edition-Pc/product-reviews/B007FTE2VW/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1)

You can see that no one is standing for their bullshit though. Hopefully they will rethink their strategy this time. I mean... the amount of bad reviews!

Yes, really more hyped than GTA V.

We both know there're more low lifers in this world who like to live in a virtual world like SIMS than gamers who like to boom boom pew pew kill kill date date bang bang in any GTA game.

I have played it for a few weeks then i got over it....
If it was like gta (3rd person view), I would play it.

True that.



yet everyone buys their games
and true that. This is because EA help or develops every game that is coming out.

This should have been a single-player game. I know this move was taken to reduce piracy, but considering the amount of people not recommending you purchase this (especially through twitter and stuff), there aren't going to be many buyers anyway.

For every self-respecting individual that decides not to purchase this game because of the dumb anti-piracy measures, there are like ten idiots that don't give a f**k and buy it anyway

it will sell nicely

I remember Sims... a few years ago some people were seriously crazy about it, didn't realise it wasn't that different now.
Never really fallen for the game though.
