This has not been mentioned enough in reviews! You're totally spot-on, the city is f'ing TINY. For those who haven't yet got the game check out the screenshot I took below. The white dotted lines are the border of the city. THAT'S IT! THAT'S ALL THE SPACE YOU HAVE FOR YOUR CITY!!!!FatPitcher wrote:My biggest problem with the game is that it's SimDowntown instead of Simcity. You get 7x7 city blocks. What a joke.....
Ummm I bitched about that plenty. And others too. It is a huge deal especially to sim city vets.Rodster wrote:I saw that Youtube video and it confirmed it was all BS to hide the DRM. What I didn't realized was they gimped the size of the city which it looks like it can be a lot larger in size.

I'm saying that if we want to prevent always online DRM from becoming standard practice we have to let the publishers know with our wallet. All people seem to do is complain on message boards but they still go out and buy the game.
And Steam is different. If i'm in the middle of a game and the Steam servers or my internet cuts out I can still play the game. SimCity doesn't work like that. The game will stop after a 20 minutes grace period. That's a load of crap. What happens when EA decides it's not worth keeping the servers running for this one particular game? You can no longer play the game that you payed for.
Here are my thought summed up in a more well written form:

I'm actually surprised he didn't fall on his sword when The Old Republic tanked (relatively speaking).bdunn13 wrote:http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/19/techn ... .html?_r=1&
