So quickly downloaded via "Origin" the game on release and it is gambled until the mouse glows. Okay, I need to be connected to a server now to play this game, I can probably (because I have to) live with it. So yes, a "social factor" in the game is meant to be, because you can trade with other towns and interact. Should I be pretty, the main thing is I can play.
After the installation is successful, I will already blessed with a "major update". Ok, after I installed the game on my SSD and also dispose over a 100 Mbit / s line, this will be done well quickly.
After 25 minutes, then is the "major update" done. Well. But now, start on the game and only once the tutorial.
My dear reader, you will have certainly discovered the sarcasm. But what can I say. The game with the "always on DRM" (ie without Internet and without connection to the servers of EA) can not be started easily. And if it can be started, then it will not play himself. On 05.03.2013 the game in the US and the buyers started could not play it. Why? Because the servers of EA were overloaded and thus the very dubious "copy" was not working. And without connection to the servers you can not play SimCity easy. EA promised to EU Home improvement. Now the game (07/03/2013) in Europe is available. The game is finished fix-installed Symstemvoraussetzungen are met ... and I can not play. The reason is as simple as embarrassing: the copy. The copy protected to prevent illegal to play this game, currently also prevents all customers who have this game PURCHASED, can not play. Why? Because the "copy-Server" by EA are unreachable.
Apparently too many this game PURCHASED. How can you just ...
And that's why 1 star because I have since yesterday bought a game, but what I still can not play today.
