Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
Offline mode is all the fans want, and EA(Maxis) doesn't give it to them. A lot of online only AAA games are coming up for release for next year and I can bet they will all have the same problems as GTAV Online and Sim City did/have.
Might wanna look into terraforming and actual city sized cities. But seriously, too little too late. Btw what part of not targeting your target audience (fans of sim city) failing surprised you guys?
