The 1 hour thing is totally LOL
I know, I'm still baffled. Again, I ask, what the hell do they smoke over there at EA? Must be strong damn strong weed, man... or the ashes of cremated mental patients.
How the hell are you supposed to test a game like this in one hour?

It's just a way of wetting the whistle of people interesting in the game and making them not feel quite so bad at being left out of the beta.
i doubt EA takes any feedback from the community seriously, its probably just to get sales.
they cant get away with another medal of honor situation. still pissed i spent 30$ on that shit
One hour? For a game like this? That's laughable.
I signed up just to give it a try and see if the gameplay changes were something I'd actually like or hate (though what I really hate is the always-on and the cloud saving mechanics) but I had no idea about the one hour deal. Not even worth it, as you can do much in one hour.
EA, man... what is it they smoke over there?
quit crying. You get to try the game before you buy it or not.
EA getting hold of a gaming franchise is the kiss of death. They will find a way to fuck this up.
Weve crafted a one hour replayable experience that will let you enjoy the magic of the game and allow us to test critical features. Everyone will go through our Getting Started Scenario, which takes you through the basics of how to play the game and gives you a sneak peak at some late game content. After that, youre free to start your own city and play for one hour. Weve given you all the tools to build up a medium density city, given access to the Casino Big Business, all of the basic services, loads of public transportation options, and several options on how you can power your city. You can start up as many cities as you like during the 3 Day event.
...loads of public transportation options...

It's going to turn out just like Spore. So much hype. Expectations so large. And ends up being a gigantic piece of crap.
I enjoyed spore.
It let my creativity soar.
Could of had better end game but i thought it was fun seeing what creatures i could come up with. I got my monies worth out of the game.
You know if the Spore servers are still going i dont think you have to worry about EA shutting down Sim City server support any time in a near future.

EA Games said:If you know about a Bug or have heard about a Bug and fail to report the Bug to EA, we reserve the right to treat you no differently from someone who abuses the Bug. You acknowledge that EA reserves the right to lock anyone caught abusing a Bug out of all EA products.
I know right! SimCity has been going downhill since 1997!
I miss the old EA. They used to make many great titles that become their large collection of popular franchise they hold today. I just don't know what has got into them lately that made them make decisions that are logically unpopular among the fans.
You don't need to have PhD to tell that after hyping up Generals 2, making it a F2P game is going to piss off your fans. Heck I would bet their developers would have raised the red flag on this, its so obvious. So who knows maybe EA is being run by thick headed people who doesn't even listen to the dev, who are so disconnected from the gaming community.

Bobby Kotick got into EA.
But luckily EAs security reminded him he worked at Activision and escorted him back to Activision so he could work on Activision's titles like CoD MWInfinity and so EA's developers could continue working on Madden!
