I don't like having to be connected to be able to play

I hope they lose a lot on this so they change

Origin is putting me off.

Haven't bought a new EA game in over a decade. They were the first gaming company I ever decided to completely boycot.

My gaming PC doesn't even have internet. I also use it for important music production so I try and keep it as clean as possible and so I've removed internet. I don't even get wifi reception to the room it's in. It's a soundproofed music studio.

So if I wanted to play this I'd be forced to play it on my shitty laptop. It's really not fair cause I'd love to give it a go. Last Sim City I played was Sim city 2000.

Then get Sim City 4, 10 € from Steam

I don't know what's wrong with EA. Every now and then they make good choices and take good decisions, but then they do this crappy things like always online.

Please excuse my bad English.

Former gaming PC: i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Current gaming PC: R5-7600, 32GB RAM 6000MT/s (CL30) and a RX 9060XT 16GB

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

The poor design decisions turned me off the game before this fiasco, which just seals the deal.

people forget this hapened last year with diablo 3, same shit diferent publisher, always online game dont work

An that's why I delayed Diablo 3, and then after a while didn't even feel like buying it.

But now that Age of Kings HD is coming out. I might just get that instead.

Yup after age of empires was killed they can now charge $20 for a HD upgrade.
So in 2 years we'll get simcity 3000 HD for $20.

Not a bad thing, nostalgia is strong on this one.
