    Wow, gamespot gave it a 5.0. I hope EA takes the outcry to heart.

    The review for the lazy: http://www.gamespot.com/simcity/revi...eview-6405012/

    It is extremely positive, mainly calling the failing services and a few bugs negatives. Those failing services really are freaking terrible and I can only hope they get their **** together soon.

    Developers HAVE to know pre-sale numbers. So why is it time after time when a game with DRM like this launches (see Diablo 3) they never have enough servers? It's just unacceptable.

    Seems like the Simcity launch has made it to the mainstream news. Reuters, Fox, NYT, WSJ, etc are now reporting on the botched launch of Simcity.

    By giving you another game that requires their always online DRM scheme.... doesn't seem like the best plan.

    Just give people their money back. They've acknowledged the problem, and they've tried to "make it right" but they still don't offer a refund on a defective product.

    I was let back into the NA East 1 server last night where I was able to continue managing Funkytown. Just now I was able to get in again without issue. I'm hoping this means the worst is over!
