SimCity: Now With 92% Less Crashing; Maxis Walks Back from Offline Comment

SimCity Update #4 is penned by EA Maxis SVP Lucy Bradshaw, who is "happy to report that the core problem with getting in and having a great SimCity experience is almost behind us," saying they have "reduced game crashes by 92% from day one." She admits she's not able to offer the "all clear" for the game she'd hoped to, but seems optimistic that they've turned the corner from the game's rocky launch. There's also a new tweet on the SimCity account quickly walking back from this tweet they posted over the weekend which said: "We have no intention of offlining SimCity any time soon but we'll look into that as part of our earning back your trust efforts." It seems there is a disagreement among the operators of their twitter account, because the new update states this isn't actually possible: "The game was designed for MP, we sim the entire region on the server so this is just not possible."

Geez, that can't even get their PR straight.

I'd love to walk into their corporate offices ask to speak to someone in charge and then hand them $50. Then the conversation would proceed like this:

"Here you go."
"What's this for?"
"You wanted my money."
"Oh! Well....can't we get you game or something?"
"No."
"I don't understand."
"You want my money, right? So here it is"
"Sir, we'll be happy to sell you a game..."
"No, I don't want your game. You don't give a fuck about me, the features I want, or improving your gameplay. You just want my money. So here it is."


And I bet you they'd take it too.
