My first night in SimCity: the wasted time, the good time, the giant fire-breathing lizard time
Comments 1
I am torn between two reactions to SimCity. On the one hand, my experience last night wasn’t really all that bad. I saw the US servers were slammed, waited 40 minutes to try and get into one while I caught up on emails, and then gave up on the US servers and played on a western European server. I played for about three hours, and while I did have two momentary connection glitches, I was able to get right back to my game without any trouble and no lost progress. On balance, SimCity was only slightly inconvenient and quite nice to play. But what rankles is that it still shouldn’t be anywhere near as inconvenient as it is.
The expected legal death match between Activision and the 40 former employees that made up a chunk of Infinity Ward's creative team, including Infinity Ward bosses Vince Zampella and Jason West, has been resolved without ever reaching the court. The case has been settled by both parties a day before arriving in court.
You can't keep something as wide-ranging as Battlefield Premium a secret, and the full details appear to have leaked out of EA: Premium won't be a subscription service, instead for a one-off payment of £40, which is more than I spent on the game, players will have be given new items, all the new and upcoming expansions (including early) access, and more. 
Capitalism thrives on war, the cycle of creation and destruction that has propped up the Western economies for generations. It’s strange, then, to see that addiction-to-destruction paralled in games and the two big Western game publishers relying so heavily on it. We’re all aware that Activision makes money from nothing but World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. But this week, EA’s financials have shown that Battlefield 3 has taken prime position as its digital cash cow.
