SimCity players offered free EA game đại hiệp truyện

Players who buy and register the latest version of SimCity before 26 March canchoose a free game đại hiệp truyện from a selection offered by Electronic Arts.

The free game đại hiệp truyệns, available as digital downloads, include recent releases Mass Effect 3, Plants vs Zombies and Bejeweled 3.

The move follows connection problems and glitches caused by EA's decision to make SimCity an online-only game đại hiệp truyện.

Earlier EA admitted that the game đại hiệp truyện was originally going to be single player.

However those proposals were shelved early in the development of the latest version.

The admission came as players are finding ways to get round the game đại hiệp truyện's need to be constantly connected.

Lucy Bradshaw, head of SimCity creator Maxis, said an offline, single-player mode did not fit with its "vision" for the urban-planning game đại hiệp truyện.

She said many players preferred the multiplayer version of the game đại hiệp truyện.Player control

In a blogpost, Ms Bradshaw said Maxis could have built a "subset offline mode" for the game đại hiệp truyện that did away with the need to be constantly connected.

Since SimCity was launched on 5 March, many players have blamed the "always online" requirement for causing bugs, in-game đại hiệp truyện glitches and long waits to play the game đại hiệp truyện.

To get around the always-on requirement, some players have tinkered with the game đại hiệp truyện's computer code to trick it into thinking it is connected when it is being played offline. Others have called on Maxis to produce a stand-alone version of the game đại hiệp truyện.

But Ms Bradshaw said the always-on requirement was "fundamental" to what the company wanted to do with SimCity and it was "designed" with multiplayer in mind.

The decision to do this had not come from "corporate and it isn't a clandestine strategy to control players", wrote Ms Bradshaw.

Maxis had gone down the multiplayer road to make the simulation more realistic by letting cities in the same virtual landscapes share elements such as pollution, crime and resources such as coal, she said.

The multiplayer element was also essential for other aspects of the game đại hiệp truyện, including the building of historic buildings and landmarks and to help players cope with world events and challenges.

There were undoubtedly some players that wanted to build a "single city in isolation" as in older game đại hiệp truyệns but just as many were "loving the always-connected functionality", she said.
