When I was younger, so much younger than today,I never needed anybody's jelq in any way.But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured

Heh, polygon gave SimCity 9.5/10, then changed their minds then dropped to 8/10, then got properly pissed off with it and dropped again to 4/10.

(still, i'm kinda glad to be forced to wait for the mac version now. hopefully they'll iron out their server problems before release)

― Mordy, Friday, 8 March 2013 22:35 (eleven years ago) link
it is kind of a pickle, though. their servers are getting slammed, but right NOW is by the far the highest traffic they're ever going to get. everyone's just bought it, and logging in to play this weekend. so they can add extra server capacity, but it'll just go to waste in a week or two when the peak load isn't so high.
i dunno. they're also obv a huge company with tons of servers/$ anyway, so perhaps they should be able to use some servers that are normally used for other games, temporarily, or something? anyway, they should have known this was coming.

the problem isn't that they didn't anticipate the server demand. the problem is that the always-online feature is awful and they should allow people to play the game while offline
― Mordy, Friday, 8 March 2013 22:40 (eleven years ago) link
simcity is the perfect franchise to play on the train/airplane/otherwise away from a wifi connection - like civ.

i also don't understand why blizzard is able to launch mac + pc platforms simultaneously and not a single other game company can manage?
― Mordy, Friday, 8 March 2013 22:43 (eleven years ago) link
because Blizzard absolutely refuses to release anything that hasn't been beta tested and reworked within an inch of its life

or, in other words, EA should be able to easily scale back down after the launch window. The trouble is, they apparently didn't scale up quite enough in advance.

alternate possibility is that SimCity is now NP-complete

EA now offering a free game to anyone who's bought Sim City so far. Which sounds to me like "hey, play something else for a while until we work out how to fix this, ta".
