I was playing around with ChatGPT and I asked it what does 'Rampocalypse' mean (don't ask why) and it gave me this odd answer:

Quote

"Rampocalypse" is a term used to describe the launch of the massively multiplayer online game "SimCity" in 2013. The game, developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, required an always-on Internet connection to play, even for single player modes, and was plagued by numerous technical issues at launch, including server overloads, long wait times, and connection problems. The issues led to widespread frustration among gamers and resulted in poor reviews and low player engagement. The term "Rampocalypse" was used to describe the disastrous launch of the game and the negative impact it had on the franchise.

and I asked it why was it coined and it gave me this:

Quote

The term "Rampocalypse" was coined in reference to the launch of the 2013 version of the game SimCity due to a series of technical issues and problems that frustrated players. The issues included widespread server problems that made it difficult or impossible for many players to connect to the game's servers, long wait times to start playing, and frequent disconnections while playing. These problems were collectively referred to as the "Rampocalypse," a play on the words "rampage" and "apocalypse" to describe the frustration and chaos that players experienced.

is this true? tbh the SC2013 happened so long ago at this point and I wanted to forget it, and I guess I did somewhat did:meh:
