>Sim City was launched by maxis a studio that has little (apparent) online knowledge Sim City was launched by EA. Very little of "Maxis" existed when that product came out. It was entirely an EA project and EA has ample experience with online gaming. >Now, how about FIFA and Madden which have userbases that absolutely dwarf those games? If you've ever tried to play an EA game beyond casual 1v1 online matches you would rethink your praise of their online systems. As an avid NCAA 14 player believe me when I say that they have a basic misunderstanding of what players want out of an online experience. They're not even good at 1v1, to be honest, when you're playing over a network their solution to input lag is to just slow down the gameplay entirely. EA is a cheap company. >I applaud them and am rooting for the active movers inside EA to keep pushing for more OSS. EA has made so much money off of shit products they would have to do 100 Open Source projects before I felt they deserved praise.
