Uhm, it's no longer about launch, but about EA and their lies I guess. Short version:
- EA doesn't admit that online-only was mainly for DRM
- Modders prove that servers contribute almost nothing to actual gameplay and that game can run in offline mode just fine
- Modders prove that game can handle bigger cities
- Bloating population numbers to make cities "seem" bigger
- Broken resource / traffic handling
- EA hiding their customer support number
- EA deleting threads about mods
