...and yet I won't be buying it.
No save games and no offline play means no purchase.
Wooo! More server space for the rest of us!
And what happens if the servers get taken offline or whatever? (Yes, yes not for ages blah blah blah).
Only online play sucks and all your really buying is the ability to connect to those servers, not the game...

no offline play? really?
Worse than Activision???
Bobby Kotick is the Osama Trash Hussain of the gaming industry. He replaces fun with shareholder profits. Not the right man for the job mithinks. Valve wins all gaming bouts btw.
EA suck too though, but they haven't ripped the warm soul out of gaming like the devil kottick has done in many, many ways over the last 4 years.
Activision took over Blizzard (gaming darlings) and the effects are starting to show!
Pay to win? It'd be laughable if it wasn't so horrible!
Wooo! More server space for the rest of us!
'SimCity' launch proves disastrous
Furthermore, Adrian advised the customer that his EA account would be banned if he disputed the result. For those who are not familiar with EA's Origin distribution service, an account ban not only prevents users from playing online or buying games, but also bars them from accessing games they have already purchased.
The worst thing about this game is te fact that it involves EA Games. I won't buy it on release day just because it's EA, I'll have to look and see what people say first.
Worst company in the gaming industry.
Smart choice, it turns out.
I don't give a **** so long as I get a couple years of good gameplay.
Played for a couple hours. Meh. I expect better, but at the same time I have a feeling EA will release some runner up versions with larger cities. Of course for another 60 dollars. Really wish EA died, they ruin gaming.
What makes you think it'd be 60$?
The first expansion pack to TOR (EA owns Bioware, remember?) will be 20$ to normal people and 10$ to subscribers.
I think you missed the point, instead of shipping the game with what it should of had in the first place they crippled it to sell more expansions/new versions down the line.
Wow, a scathing review of EA and it's practices here. Nothing new to most of us, but it's garned national attention.
Excerpt:
I'm kind of glad I just picked up an iMac G5 the other day to rebuild because I should be able to play SimCity 4 on it, since it won't run on my Intel-based Mac's.
