Kotaku had a good article about all the different ways SimCity's online problems can prevent someone from playing the game: http://kotaku.com/5989503/the-many-ways-we-didnt-get-to-play-simcity-this-week Fortunately if I want to play SimCity can I still have my copy of SimCity 2000 I can play any time I want. I wonder if this new SimCity's servers will still be running 15 years from now. Or even two.
