And when I say resource collection, I mean on a level that's absolutely ridiculous. Their mobile game breaks the SimCity game mechanics and models entirely in favor of timer- or micropayment-based resource collection. Haha, just kidding, EA totally fucked it up again. As a result of all that backlash, EA reformed its ways and released a mobile version of SimCity that is both customer friendly and stays true to the franchise's roots as a thank you to all of its loyal fans. The company was then voted as the 'Worst Company In America' in a Consumerist poll. Then EA failed to properly plan for the launch-day success it somehow managed to have, which meant that the required but not necessary internet connection was causing game servers to fail all over the place and rendering customers into would-be-game-players. First, it pretended like the game's structure required an always-on internet connection, even though that wasn't true. Two years ago, the world's most hated video game company, Electronic Arts, decided to lay waste to one of the greatest franchises in history: SimCity.
