What I found really interesting, after the demands for clarification that were leveled at FD during their KS, is this:
General / Off-Topic meanwhile, in Sim City.

Mobius, I love your SimCity picture.
I find it a bit busy though, so would you consider making a version with just the Cobras just to see what it looks like. Not sure if it will improve it, but I'm curious. I would need it in 1920 x 1080 resolution if it's any good. (Wallpaper)
I will give it a go.
Are you sure that's really Simcity and not an early alpha shot from FD's planerside expansion?
I maintain that the only person DRM inconveniences is legitimate customers. In my (of course totally non-existent) experience of pirate materials, they tend not too have any such inconveniences.
It's the same with DVDs. I hate having to sit through unskippable "Piracy is Wrong" intros. I know it's wrong. That's why I bought the DVD. Why do I have to watch this?
I have actually been known to download illegitimate versions of games I have bought, simply because they are more convenient to use.

More to the point, software preservation organizations usually prefer the cracked versions that aren't hardware dependent.
Those all in one game devices with 20+ games, will often use a crack.

love it!,
Fascinating thread there guys. C+C, Dungeon Keeper, Baldurs Gate amongst my all time favourites. Maybe it's a sign of the industry's maturity (or the cost of making a game) that it's gone from something produced by enthusiasts to something controlled by suits who want to make a safe buck.
Well maybe Kickstarter and E: D will change that, and get us back to games made by enthusiasts

TBH I thought everyone did this, I and all my mates certainly do.
lulz no.....
Is it fair to consider Kickstarter as the new DRM? If you can get people to part with their money before there is anything to steal, sorry infringe the copyright of, then you are guaranteeing your income for your efforts.
the CEO of EA resigns.

He's been there since 91, that answers many questions.
lets hope his exit interview requires rubber gloves. There would be parity.

In their 'please, we didn't always suck!' response, they give some playable ones away.
"Last week, the company apologised for the continuing connection and server issues players were experiencing and stated that everyone who registers the game before March 25 will be allowed to choose one Origin game from a list of eligible titles to download for free."
I think they have a bit further to go back.
(I preferred the c64 version)

Nasty people EA,
I suggest that instead of buying this new SimCity you go onto steam and buy SimCity 4, works fine on Win7 and I have mine running at 1680x1050.
or better still go and buy Tropico 4 of steam.
This is what I ended up doing.
Haven't installed it yet though, such is the nature of my Steam consumer habits
