Funny that they can only sign away their rights after they purchase and play the game. EXACTLY when these sort of rights would be the most valid.
God bless America.

However, in this case, they signed away their rights and they STILL can't play their game.
Which brings up an interesting point. A major issue with SimCity and the games-as-service trend as a whole is that the publishers want to have their cake and eat it too. Service agreements generally work both ways: you sign a contract agreeing to pay in order to receive a certain level of service. EA wasn't (or perhaps isn't, in some areas) providing anything resembling a working service. On a normal service agreement, you'd have an out at this point where they agree to fully or partially refund your payment. But since they also want to sell this as a boxed license, you're completely out of luck unless you happen to live in the European Union.
That guy is how the rest of the world sees us. Good job Murica.
If you're not fat and go to Europe, when you say you're American they'll be surprised. They assume the US is a nation of chunky people.
Isn't not caring what others think sort of your thing? World turned upside down...
Also, most foreigners know a stereotype isn't representative of all (or even most) of a population. They just don't share our penchant for political correctness and phony outrage.
On topic: this thread has inspired me to fire up SimCity 3000 again. Plays just as well as it did in high school! I always name my city Otisburg.
Implying I care. I just think it's sad.Quote:
