I haven't played in 3/4 weeks... waste of money so far. Might pick it up again when I am bored, but it wasn't a very good game as it was. Fun for 15 minutes then same-old, same-old.

I loaded the game up for the first time in at least a month, updated with the latest version, and it's once again working like crap for me. I give up. I bought a brand new PC for this game, and for whatever reason it won't work the way it should. I'm done.

Ouch dude. On the bright side, you make me feel a bit better about myself, since I only shelled out the $60 to play this game, and nothing more
P.S. I haven't touched this game in a month either. And by the sounds of things, looks like it'll stay that way.

Every time I see this thread bumped all I can think is how lucky I was to get a refund.
I think the thing that gets me about this game, and I had my reservations pre-release as well, is that it's not really a game. It's a platform to sell things to me.
Everything they've done or that we've found out since the game released points to this:
1) Online play is a farce - At least for Diablo 3, there's hacking checks, an online auction house, multiple simultaneous players etc. Here it's just a "phone home every 20 minutes" check.
2) Nissan/Crest advertising
3) City size restriction is artificial
4) Terrible game at its core (bugged transit, no subways/other main features etc.)
5) Day 1 DLC for pay-to-win bonuses (deluxe edition/maxis man)

Well in the first ten minutes since I started playing, it kicked me out of one of my cities saying it wasn't "processing" properly, and then gave me the option of either rolling it back or abandoning it entirely. So I rolled back. Then went to another one of my cities and within two minutes, the game decided to crash.
I had such high hopes for this game and its such a failure that there are so many strikes against it still. Can't believe this launch went so poorly......actually forget about the launch, the game itself is just a broken product period! With other competition out there I can't see myself buying this game....ever. It's too bad because it could have been pretty awesome.
