SimCity: Trainwreck Clusterfuck Edition

[Josh]

You can edit some files and it will never call home, save on your drive and allow you to go beyond the limits. It's on YouTube.

I feel like I could accomplish the same thing with Little Snitch, probably. Maybe when the osx version hits all these problems will be fixed (lol)

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Hack the city.

[AaronChance]

All the hacks in the world aren't going to fix this shit game. It might look pretty, but the sim aspect is total garbage.

Translation in a report by Kotaku, so grain of salt needed:

Rather, it's what the EA Facebook page manager apparently wrote in the comments. The sticking point was that supposedly there aren't any servers in Asia—something that seemed perplexing for a game has always requires an internet connection.

Above, in the highlighted section, a commenter wrote, "Asia has one of the highest populations. Why aren't there any servers?"

The EA Korea Facebook manager replied (once again, translation by Sang Kwon): "There is a lot of piracy in Asia, so it would be difficult for the time being."

Oh, your country wanted servers for our always-online game? Well you guys tend to steal shit so we just figured fuck you.

[Chux]

I'm ok with that.

Because it isn't us.

[Diff-chan]

Even offline this game isn't worth playing. I don't see why anyone cares about hacking the planet or mods.

[GohanX]

This is the most entertaining game EA has made in years.

[Joust Williams]

Well you guys tend to steal shit so we just figured fuck you.

That's what I'd say.

[Dolemite]

More like "you guys always steal shit anyway so we just figured we'd give you even more reason to do so."

This thread is the most entertaining one to hit Gaming Discussion in ages. I love it.

How long before someone files a class action lawsuit against EA regarding this game, you figure? Especially in light of the fact that they're refusing to give refunds (which I still can't believe). People have done it for far, far less.

[Diff-chan]

There is a 100% probability that customers signed away their class action rights when they digitally signed the user agreement.

Everyone is doing that now, the SCOTUS signed off on it a year or two ago.
