EA and Maxis - SimCity Server Debacle was "Dumb"

"Maxis continues to make huge progress in addressing the lag and server-capacity issues we experienced at launch. We’ve improved our server response time by 40x, we’ve doubled the number of players in the game at the same time and reduced server down times. "

That's PR-flack for 'we launched a hugely-anticipated AAA title with our backend so badly underprovisioned that doubling capacity still leaves us below acceptable levels, and no that doesn't mean you get to ask for a refund." right? logo
