Can't wait for the full game. Hope there is some form of offline crack (even though I'll be purchasing the game) Just so I don't have to go through the suffering of being disconnected most of the time. Unless of course it's a vastly improved system compared to EASFC, which I and many of my friends lose connection to multiple times a day.

I really want this game to be game of the year.

If it's an improved version of Sim City 4 it will be a masterpiece.

I thought it was quite good, I played during the beta over the weekend and I found it far more enjoyable than previous Sim City games, I'll be picking it up, also I wouldn't expect to see any changes to the always online DRM, the game is all multiplayer now, it's pretty interesting really.

I've been reading into SimCity and I don't think I will buy it. If the servers go down (and they will), your game is lost. You cannot save a City locally, it has to be saved to the cloud. The reviews of the beta are all negative - it can take up to an hour to log-in and play. EA have done to SimCity what they have done to The Sims franchise - killed it.

A company who wages war on piracy by punishing their loyal followers does not deserve a single penny. There's a reason Electronic Arts is the #1 worst company in the US.

I agree with your view of EA. However, as far as the game's issues go... that's why they run a BETA. I'm sure that they will clear up the issues before actual release.

I actually watched a lets play of the BETA and it I have to admit I'm feeling fairly more confident in the game, even if there is always online DRM. I guess we have to see
