Electronic Arts has finally revealed the list of free games that will be given away to SimCity users who had to endure the disastrous launch of the game that left many gamers unable to play their title due to server load and the lack of offline play.
Ironically, one of the free games is SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition.
Some games force online-only measures onto people. It sucks! Especially when some titles, like these seven, 100% didn't need it.
The following is an excerpt from Chapter 5 of The Secret History of Mac Gaming, “Simulated.”
EA has something of a reputation when it comes to awkwardly handling much-loved franchises. Here are 7 that Screen Critics feel they ruined.
Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.
That is a good way to make up their mistake!
Here I thought they'd choose games from 2007 or something
The ones they chose are... actually a little fair. Debating between Dead Space 3 and Medal of Honor Warfighter. They're both terrible games so I hear, but still. Probs go for Medal of Honor or something.
I was holding off until this list came out. Looks like I'm going to purchase Simcity when I get off of work.
Hmmm not bad Dead Space 3 is on the list
I love that Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition is on that list. The irony of it is just so hilarious. EA is basically giving out a bunch of $20 games that are tired and old. And the few $60 games have a ton of microtransactions in them.
I am so glad I brought Tropico 4 instead of this game.
