Redditor Points Out The Flaws In SimCity's Online-Only DRM, Gets Banned By EA For His Troubles [UPDATED]
According to representatives of the EA, this prohibition is the unfortunate result of a system in which gitch banned several members who had chosen not to receive email from EA. Issued a complete response below:
Puppier Hello,
made a post in response to both Imgur and reddit post, but I just wanted you to know that we have lifted the ban AHQ. As you know, the system sends a large number of e-mails and seems to have chosen not to receive emails from us, which for some reason is banning users. There are a few posts about this, for example here is not the biggest thread, but this is the first time I could get.
The team works to correct the error, but in the meantime I did a scan session member our records for anyone withdraws, so that we can lift the ban as soon as possible.
excuses again - like you mentioned. There are many comments like yours that has not been withdrawn by the authors forums and prohibited.
Do not hesitate to give a shout with any comments you have. Personally, I make sure it gets to the right people to make art makes some very popular games and some games very respectable, but in recent years has been to find the top of Consumerist annual "Worst Company in America" . And for good reason. few weeks ago, we talked about upcoming EA SimCity game to be paralyzed by a system of always-on DRM disguised as online multiplayer. Some developers SimCity distrust lit AMA (Ask Me Anything), to find, trying in vain to defend a system that maintains their savings online status, rather than locally. In addition to "stop" piracy, this "feature" help "extend the game" by forcing their movements must re sunspots or something. The Redditors, needless to say, eaten alive, and his remains returned with a message for his bosses: drop DRM or not to watch our money
EA. Of course, do not worry about the little things, like son anger or elsewhere, to be a trust and respect for people. For every step forward, took giant steps backward. Recently, we conducted a closed beta test of a last minute bug on the new SimCity. This is all very well, except that threatened to ban usersall
EA games if this is not a bug report.
"is understood and agreed that, as part of their participation in the beta program is your responsibility to report all known bugs, abuse of 'bugs',' "undocumented features or other defects and problems with the game and EA Beta software as they are (" Bugs "). If you know of an error or have heard of an error and report the bug to EA, we reserve the right to be treated differently from someone who abuses the insect. You agree that EA reserves the right to block anyone caught abusing a failure all EA productsFrankly, I do not always be online if n ' not all technical complications I bought the game and if I can play, I'm fine. But this is not the case. Instead, wait through numerous server errors and delays in order to play the game if such problems exist in
That lasted about as though everything depends BanHammer prove a negative -. the tumult began moments after leading EA to walk back to the threat within 24 hours. EA released this unbeliever selfish statement that basically said he was surprised (
shocked !) What suggests that any person would perma-ban your prospects.
"Never removed access to the games a player for not reporting a bug, and is simply not something you would never do ... The clause the agreement Beta beta for EA SimCity seeks to ban players who use known exploits to their advantage. however, includes language as too broad. We update the Beta Agreement to eliminate that. " Uh-huh. Nothing that would now that was captured
But EA is not wield the Banhammer as Redditor trying to enter open beta weekend. After waiting more three hours
software for authentication, which published a review very relevant, very docile and very constructive in their forums. (Original post through the Google cache here.) back during the Steam Summer Sale, always online DRM Ubisoft servers inhibited find countless mistakes people playing the game (story). This is one of several questions game publishers have suffered after always online DRM (aside from the general irritation of the player). While it is unfortunate that we have to be online multiplayer for a single player game, the technical problems as well, because the servers inevitably lose at some point.
closed
beta
The consequences of this situation? Bad grades. Although Diablo 3 received generally favorable essential skills players is estimated at only 3.8/10 (Source). Although, of course, are buyers, there is always someone dedicated enough to play a game, no matter the cost, poor grades restore even the most dedicated players.
And if the problems observed in the closed beta servers (I waited 45 minutes to connect and others waited much longer) stay at the official launch, the notes will probably suffer
. Although I've always been a big fan of SimCity, I began to wonder if I will buy this game, and as a result of these evaluations will decide for himself and many others spend our money on SimCity.
As I said, I
be able to tolerate always online DRM worked so SimCity
. But the way it looks right now,
