Too little, too late.
EA is still is the worst gaming company out there.
Nintendo and PC gamer
They flipped that switch.
This isn't the news I was hoping for. That they didn't really shut down Bullfrog in 2001 and they've been working on Theme Hospital 2 ever since then to make it the best goddamn game ever.

Yet still no contest.
Yes, EA is far and away the worst gaming company in exsistance.
| pezus said: SimCity will get an offline mode, Maxis has announced. The announcement was made today just two months shy of the game's first birthday. Players have long called for an offline mode. EA and Maxis were heavily criticised for the catastrophic launch of the game in March 2013. Upon release SimCity was unplayable for many as the always online game buckled under the weight of pressure applied to EA and Maxis' servers. Today, Maxis Emeryville chief Patrick Buechner revealed on the SimCity blog that offline will be added to the game as a free download with Update 10 to all SimCity players. "When we launch it, all of your previously downloaded content will be available to you anytime, anywhere, without the need for an internet connection," he said. This will manifest itself in-game as the new single-player mode. Saved games in this mode are stored locally, so "you can save and load to your heart's content", Buechner said. Does this sound the death knell for always online SimCity? Not so, Buechner insisted. "All of the benefits of being connected will remain including access to Multiplayer, the Global Market and Leaderboards," he said. "And all of your pre-existing saved cities and regions will still be accessible should you log-in to the Online game." The single-player mode comes alongside the addition of modding to SimCity. "From me, and everyone at the studio, thank you again for staying with us," Buechner concluded. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-01-13-simcity-offline-mode-confirmed |
Nope - not redeemed as you can bet this is because running all those servers is costing EA a small fortune and their plan of having tons of dlc for it like the Sims fell through when the game was beyond crappy and now they need to jump ship. You can bet when this comes out, all those patches will come to an abrupt end.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
EA as a company is a joke... They are still fixing this game even after nearly a year later of its release... They should have done this from the beginning and anyone that says EA is great for doing this should be ashamed... And this isn't even their only buggy and unplayable game in 2013... Why should anyone accept an unfinished, unplayable mess that was SimCity?
EA is not redeemed cause EA will never learn their lesson and the more people that says EA is redeemed, the less likely they will learn a lesson... Stop buying their unfinished products and teach them a lesson
We all need to learn to stop taking it up the ass and say no

Too much, too early. Come on, it's only the tenth update.
It seems that Microsoft 180 has really caught on in the business. Although it also seems EA is late to the party, like really late.
