Oh, fuck you people, seriously. Stop complaining about Origin, it's not nearly as horrible as it was back at launch and even has some edges over Steam (refunds anyone?). And it's leagues above Uplay, that's for sure. And they are giving free shit for everyone, so what are you complaining about? "Oh, stop saying that it's free, it requires origin, nyeh-nyeh-nyeh" - stop being so fucking bratty. I have no love for EA, but a freebie is a freebie.
Before laying down the righteous beatdown try to understand what he's saying. See that underlined part? He's referring to the fact that they're giving the game away, when he states that they don't deserve money for it.RicoADF said:
I must have put hundreds of hours into that game as a kid. I honestly consider it a seminal piece as far as modern games and game design goes.
I'd jump right on this if I had Origin installed on my PC but I femoved that program with prejudice after I finished with BF4.
I still have the original on its original CD. I'll just dig that up and install it without the silly always online DRM program.

To Everyone complaining that it needs Origin.
Honestly people cheer up.
It's a free game if this was any other retail service you would be cheering like mad.

*double-checks GOG library* Sweet, already got it! Saves me crossing paths with EA.
We ride at once to rebellious Stoke, where it is my sworn intent to approach the city walls, bare my broad buttocks and shout "BEHOLD! I honour thee most highly!"thaluikhain said:
Honestly they give it away 100% free, on your account forever.
Yet people cry about it like they're 5 years old or something.
It amuses me that people are attacking EA for doing literally nothing wrong.
I travel a lot with my laptop and Origin's offline has ALWAYS worked for me, Steam work's like 50% of the time.

Ironically I have found Origin's offline mode to work better than Steams.VanQ said:

Thanks you said what I was thinking.RealRT said:
It's stupid how people ***** over a free game.
While I own a physical copy and one on steam I got no problams taking a 3rd copy.
Wow I got 4 free games from EA this week only 1 of them I care about but it's nice to get free stuff from time to time.
If it was any other bloatware (steam) I may have gone 'meh' instead of 'nah'.Gameguy20100 said:
If it takes you 5 minutes of time (time = money) and your emailaddress to register (along with another 5 minutes later on to un-subscribe from unsollicited weekly newsletters) it makes the game feel a lot more expensive than 'free'.
Oh my God. This is literally the worst thing that EA has ever done. A free game? And worse, one that I'm not required to download? These bastards should be brought up on war crimes!
people still complaining about origin. i never ever had a single problem with it. runs even smoother than steam.
shame, i already got it. it was cheap tho but well, cant be helped.

I have never once spent five minutes unsubscribing from any weekly newsletters, nor have I received any from Origin.K-lusive said:
Everybody download Origin before Christmas and buy our games!!! Pleeeaaase!
At least it's not requiring EA's subscription-based gyp service.

Is this community ever happy?
It's a Free. Fucking. Game. God forbid EA to give away free things, and actually take the time to update it to work on new systems. I'm not a huge fan of them, but at least they are trying to get in peoples good books. They could of chosen any game, but they chose what people consider to be the best Simcity game. If this was Battlefield 4, Simcity 2013 or Dragon Age 2 i would be a bit more iffy, but still. FREE. GAME.
It would take roughly 5 minutes to create an account, download origins, download the game, install it then remove origins from your computer, possibly 10 minutes depending on your system. It's hardly the end of the world.
