EA's and Maxis's lies about online/offline play were repeatedly blown out of the water. It probably took them 6 months to realize all hope was lost for their original vision of the game, rather than 6 months to shut down the servers.
Pretty much. They seriously had a license to print money with this one. Just make it look better, let people make even bigger cities, and failure would have been pretty much impossible. Plus, some nice PR for bringing back a classic title, which god knows they need these days.Think about what a bath EA took on this blunder of a game. Had they just done Sim City right, the first time, it would have sold like crazy!
