It just got serious people. Though, I'm pretty sure the Mass Effect 3 drama and the financial atom bomb that was Star Wars: The Old Republic had a hand in him quitting. Now if only we can get rid of Frank Gibeau.
Usually, I find that the drama surrounding EA can get way too overblown for me to agree to. However, in light of how EA handled this, how the game runs, and how utterly draconian they're being with DRM with one of the most beloved series of all time for me...I can safely say that EA deserves all of the vitriol that's coming to them.
Seriously, I have never seen a more broken piece of software in my life. All people and vehicles will take the shortest routes possible with no variations, causing traffic jams, workers to make a conga line in the roads, and other game issues. The game also inflates certain statistics such as your actual city population, adding phantom Sims (which still want jobs and recreation). Do I even need to mention the terrible always-online DRM? The EA servers are so bad that people have lost their saved cities due to server issues. All because EA doesn't even trust their consumers to have their saved games on their computers!
This is a mess that EA brought upon themselves and I don't feel sorry for them one bit. They deserve everything that's coming to them for trashing such an awesome series with this putrid pile of a plaything.
