Dear sir/madam/whoever will read this!

This profile is now defunct.

Computer problems and issues with accessing my Imageshack account meant My SC4 CJ Scrapbook was lost and utterly irretrievable. This setback put me off SC4 for many months.

Apologies for the inconvenience and for the lost pictures.

But that SC4 itch did not go away and it had to be scratched! I have started afresh with a new account here- The British Sausage

The URS is a spiritual successor to the SC4 CJ Scrapbook.

With this update this will be the last time I visit my original Simtropolis account- admin/mods feel free to remove it or do whatever you need to do. I have no further use for the Ln X (BLANKBLANK) account.

 

With regards, Miles Saunders-Priem aka. Ln X aka. The British Sausage

My god, this is getting really bad for SimCity and EA/Maxis.  Is it possible this game is beyond repairing at this point?  I'm in utter
disbelief at how bad this launch has been.  I think this has officially been the worst launch I have ever seen.

If Sony can turn the PS3 around to become 2nd place in sales WW (beating Xbox 360) and Nintendo can salvage the 3DS, then EA/Maxis should have no problem here.

 

No one watches the BBC in the U.S. because it airs on PBS.

It must be extremely bad that even mainstream non-gaming publications are making note of SimCity's disaster, especially one as venerable as the BBC.

 

EA, the world is seeing your stubbornness to follow the money, not address concerns your customers have, of which there is a very long list and are urgent.

The point is Americans don't like BBC.

Yes, I know.  We much prefer having the wool pulled over our eyes by the lameness that US outlets call "news"
