I was really looking forward to the new SimCity, as Societies was a real joke.

But then I had learned that it would require a constant connection, and instantly thought "Another disaster - stay away" The last EA game I bought was 3 years ago - Dragon Age Origins. Excellent game that was severely stained by the server connection issues. Their support was just as bad as the chat Lord_Vader posted.

Companies that don't give a sh!t about their customers don't deserve my money, so I don't buy EA games anymore. It's that simple.
