i also don't understand why blizzard is able to launch mac + pc platforms simultaneously and not a single other game company can manage?

― Mordy, Friday, 8 March 2013 22:43 (thirteen years ago)

because Blizzard absolutely refuses to release anything that hasn't been beta tested and reworked within an inch of its life

Can't believe a lolz thread is a) making me google to find out what s going on and ii) making me read stories called "Reticulating splines for reticulating times".

and even then, the D3 launch was still pretty messed up because of aforementioned onerous DRM

― Nhex, Friday, 8 March 2013 23:47 (thirteen years ago)

it is kind of a pickle, though. their servers are getting slammed, but right NOW is by the far the highest traffic they're ever going to get. everyone's just bought it, and logging in to play this weekend. so they can add extra server capacity, but it'll just go to waste in a week or two when the peak load isn't so high.

i dunno. they're also obv a huge company with tons of servers/$ anyway, so perhaps they should be able to use some servers that are normally used for other games, temporarily, or something? anyway, they should have known this was coming.

or, in other words, EA should be able to easily scale back down after the launch window. The trouble is, they apparently didn't scale up quite enough in advance.

― my god i only have 2 useless beyblade (silby), Saturday, 9 March 2013 02:42 (thirteen years ago)

alternate possibility is that SimCity is now NP-complete

"The EA Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2013. Offline options are removed from EA products. EANet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. "

EA now offering a free game to anyone who's bought Sim City so far. Which sounds to me like "hey, play something else for a while until we work out how to fix this, ta".

― JimD, Saturday, 9 March 2013 10:37 (thirteen years ago)

Is this free game titled 'The Waiting Game'?

EA does do a lot of stupid anti-consumer things, but is pretty laughable that they beat Bank of America, Time Warner and Comcast

ha, cute, but somehow not actually as funny/pathetic as actual games of that genre, e.g. the baffling and endless, but somehow soothing CONTINUUM
