So, any thoughts regarding Cities XL? Started to look at that game since I refuse to buy SimCity from EA.

This ain't EA's first rodeo, nor is this unique to the PC game industry.
This is how it went at EA HQ:
"Stats indicate normal load is requires $1m in infrastructure. Peak load is historically at 21:00 zulu, at which point $1,5m is required. We will buy $2m worth. However Day One requires $5m. With $2m spent we will get complaints that cost us $1m. So by using $2m, this is the optimal level statistically to balance capital outlay versus profitability."
These guys are run by accountants. In an accountant's eye's you balance losses, you do not eliminate them.
Expect every new game released that requires servers to get swamped day one. That is where the money is for them.
Water.. Where do I start.. It runs out, and does not replenish itself. Normally I could see this happening, but hell, I am right next to a river.. Why can't I get water from the river/ocean what ever it is??
I decided to create a recycling plant to try and offload some of the trash issues. This would have been cool if I could sell the plastic that it generated.. Unfortunately to be able to add plastic containers to shipping ports, you have to either have a particular add-on for trade.. or have petroleum add-on, unfortunately I could not see how anyone could make 2mil (don't remember the number) in a day for my trade HQ.. And I had no oil. So I had to go start a new city w/ Oil to just try and get the stupid Energy HQ w/ petroleum.. (I was already using the metal add-on).. But why in the hell should I know how to create plastic from petroleum, if all I want to do is sell it??
According to Joystiq or Engadget, the free game is supposedly Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
That's your consolation gift from EA.
Did anyone really expect to be able to play on the week of release?
Sure you SHOULD have been able to play, but have we learned nothing from D3?
Naw, I want "Pickup that last cu-tip from the bottom of the garbage container simulator 2013"
How the hell does one misspell the letter Q?
