Maxis: We don't want to make this all-online
EA: Well guess what, it's 100% online
EA: We guarantee no downtime, though
Players: Unable to login for weeks
EA: It'll be more fun online, because that's how it works
Game: Basically unplayable because online functionality screwed up game balance and made you reliant on players who stopped playing
EA: You can't play it offline
Players: Find way to play it offline
EA: Ok fine (closes Maxis)

Is this the one where hackers modded the game to work offline within a week (?) of EA saying it was impossible?

I never got around to playing it, but honestly the online stuff didn't sound all that appealing anyway

EA: "you can't play this offline because of server side calculations"
Players: (pull out Ethernet cable mid game. Game takes 30 minutes to realize it's not connected to the internet)

The only thing I know about that game is that it resulted in one of my favorite Zero Punctuation reviews.

it was pretty but there was only one way to really play the game, by packing your city square with as much tech industry as possible.

I remember the weird weeble shaped guy with the Eminem haircut and bleach job who wanted to screw my GF at the time was really upset about it. He was the ex of my exs bassist.

Thats all I remember about it, to be honest.

Was that also the game that had terrible AI-pathing and transports literally couldn't figure out how to get around despite there being clear paths?
