Much is being made about the departure of EA CEO John Riccitiello, but SimCity’s sales certainly didn’t have much to do with it. Connectivity issues and a growing brouhaha over the game’s DRM aside, it’s still selling like hotcakes.
SimCity sells 1.1M copies in two weeks
I’d buy it but I don’t get to play it often. I can’t trust EA to keep their DRM servers up long enough for me to get full enjoyment out of it. I expect the game to be playable for several years.
And that’s the problem, isn’t it? Every makes a big stink, but everyone buys it anyway. Just like Diablo, just Like Madden.
