DRM and launch problems aside, I chose not to buy this game because it lacks everything I want in a Sim City title. That on its own may not have been enough for me to boycott the product, but it was a particular interview with one of the EA "creative directors" insisting that in this iteration...

dark_knight33It's not a matter of being short sighted. It's a matter of, I've used different flavors of linux both personally and professionally since 2000, and while MSFT has moved on from dos over a decade ago, Linux still ties itself to an antiquated command line. MSFT is working on 3D holo...

kinggravesWhy are these guys getting marked down, does the truth hurt that much? You as the consumer are responsible for knowing what you're buying. We all knew SC5 would be an always online game. You all rushed out and preordered it just to get a stupid tilechange like "being a British city...

cpyStop complaining about game you haven't even played, watch Totalhalibut video on youtube to get the idea about the game first, only thing you read is rant from other jerks who rant because they don't have anything better to do, complaining about thing you never saw or know about is pure fail...

"the most advanced simulation engine ever" LOL. As a city simulator, Sim City 4 is superior in virtually every aspect. Honestly EA, the task before you was simple. Take Sim City 4, remove the grid. That is a game I would buy.

This would be a deal breaker for me. Even if I had 100% always on internet, I would not support this out of principle.

GNCDUhmmm, no they won't. Linux is community supported and big companies won't risk their business by using community supported software/OS or whatever. Sorry. you seem to have no idea what you are talking about. Ever heard of Red Hat?

darkavenger123I can never understand what the excitement is about. It is basically a blob of pixels. What can you make out of it??? Nothing. So the universe is x billion light years old or x trillion light years old. So??? Agreed. We need more articles about smart phone sales.

alexthagerWhen Apple states it's not about the money, they do somewhat have a point. If I made a successful product, and another company used similar features, I'd be pissed. When they sue Samsung, they're probably pissing them off, which to me, seems like their goal. Samsung doesn't want to be...

amk-aka-PhantomI knew it's a Gruener article before I even opened it. Wolfgang, how come they allow you to write BS about PCs without the "Opinion" prefix again? Likewise. Another useless article by Wolfgang.

theabsinthehareI don't think you understand the difference between invention and innovation. Invention is to create something new, innovation is to create something that is more effective. Apple does not invent things (or at least not many things), they innovate things. They did not invent the...

Spanky DeluxeUnfortunately all the OS developers seem to have got it into their heads to make their desktop operating systems as similar as possible to phones and tablets. Microsoft isn't the only one here although Metro looks to be one of the 'worst' forced implementations.Mac OS X Lion has had...

ap3xUhhh, no you are sadly mistaken. People want a device that works......period. Tablet form factors do not work for general purpose OS's. People will buy these Windows 8 tablets and never change the OS because windows 8 will be properly designed to work on that type of device. Tablets are not...

@brandonjclark Saying "period" after a statement does not make the statement more final or correct. Rather, it makes it seem like you have no clue. Linux affords a degree of freedom which makes it difficult to go back to anything else. If you don't care about gaming and are some what...

@ Wildkitten It is apparent you have no idea what you are talking about. Open source code may be easier to alter, but that does not mean it is easier to get that altered code on to someone's computer. "With Linux, anyone can build malware directly inside the core OS files themselves. "...
