I am a follower of SimCity for years, if only because me alone the first part so dermaßend captivated that I had to play the other also. Logically, this sequel was fixedly provided in the planning. After I now see that it is offline for the game (similar to Battlefield 3 - even as a grime from EA) need an Internet connection to the EA servers, I'm not ready for it to wages money! Finally, so that there is not only a risk, but it is the real situation, that after a while the servers are taken offline and consequently the game is unplayable! Then I can not be bothered! Copy yes, but not so that the game no longer works at the end! It will thus probably be the first SimCity, that will not be reflected on my shelf, too bad! One thing I must say what I have seen of SimCity (in the network and make friends), is just awesome. But with the EA-control forced it's just plain sucks. And one wants to really just relax pass the time and not feel the control mania of EA at every turn!
