From the article, "SimCity is a level 5 disaster. Demand has overtaxed servers, keeping people from playing and causing multiple errors. Fans are displeased with the smaller city sizes, focus on region development and inability to make a megalopolis. There are a lot of hurt feelings, and you can't blame the gamers who are upset. They just spent $59.99 on a broken game, they have a right to be mad. EA's attempting to make things better by adding more servers and now by offering people a free game. On March 18, 2013, a mass email is going to be sent out giving people a PC game from Origin. But is that enough?"
Some games force online-only measures onto people. It sucks! Especially when some titles, like these seven, 100% didn't need it.
i meant what to gain from this knowledge, this list, whats the point of it why make it why should i know these games, sure yeah i do recall some games needing me to be online even to play single player but, why should i know this "seven times" thing
You are either sort of young or very old and have memory issues.
Besides the internet can go down for various reasons.
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.
Dead Space was the worst ruining... micro transactions in a full price game, with co op that was mandatory to get all the story and access to certain areas. Sure Rock Band was oversaturated, and Burnout was basically killed off even though it sold a ton on PS3 back in the day.
I really liked Burnout and Need for speed and thought no one will able to destroy this game.....I was WRONG!
"... here's a free Pepsi! Now stop complaining"
probably be a stupid copy of crysis 2 or something.
EA will only learn if you boycott their products... Or sue for bait and switch.
This is a lesson to the companies that wants block second hand games and require permanent internet connection. Always-online DRM SUCKS¡
