Eight titles to choose from.
EA has revealed the list of eight Origin games that will be offered to owners of SimCity for free, by way of an apology for the game's teething issues.
Last week, the company apologised for the continuing connection and server issues players were experiencing and stated that everyone who registers the game before March 25 will be allowed to choose one Origin game from a list of eligible titles to download for free.
“
We’re humbled by your patience and passion for the game. Thanks for building something very special with us, together.
The eligible titles are Battlefield 3 (Standard Edition), Bejeweled 3, Dead Space 3 (Standard Edition), Mass Effect 3 (Standard Edition), Medal of Honor Warfighter (Standard Edition), Need For Speed Most Wanted (Standard Edition), Plants vs. Zombies and SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition. You'll have until March 30 to claim your free game.
The post also includes an explanation from developers Maxis, which reads, "At Maxis, our studio values dictate that we innovate and create something that is quirky, complex and challenging. Sometimes this bites us in the butt, but our servers are green and we’re seeing record numbers of players all online and having a great time.
"We’re getting great feedback from our fans and know that many of you are having fun and exploring this whole new expression of SimCity. We’re humbled by your patience and passion for the game. Thanks for building something very special with us, together."
It's true that most of the game's issues seem to be resolved; the company recently restored the non-essential features it disabled to ease the strain on the servers. Despite this, there are still no plans to introduce the offline mode many fans have asked for.
Is this gesture enough to compensate you for the troubles you experienced, or have you given up on SimCity?
