I want to write this somewhere the jackasses at EA will hopefully see it. I will NOT buy this game so long as you have to get it through origin and have an internet connection. It won't happen, and I'm not alone.

It sucks too because I love the sim city franchise and think Maxis and all the devs are awesome.

The seals are in no way endangered.

The hunt actually contributes to lowering overpopulation. Endangered seals are illegal to hunt, and there is tight oversight of this.

I liked 4 as well. I loved Maxis games. I would play the hell out of this one too.

But really, I don't even HAVE internet connection half the time I play sim city games. I play on the bus (like greyhound), on the plane, etc. It is a fantastic single player game.

Online experience would be great, I get it. But does it need to be forced on people?

If you have receipts you should take a day off and go to small claims court. They won't set any precedent but you will get damages.

Speaking of leaving, could you comment on the brain drain of doctors from Nigeria? In my past employment here in Canada I worked in the medical field and spoke with many ex-pat Nigerian doctors. The common consensus with them was that staying could not offer them a good quality of life, and living in Canada gave them much more respect as a doctor and a better living situation for their family.

Is this phenomenon of leaving with a medical degree a problem? If so, why do you personally think it is, and how would you go about fixing it?
