Also, you may not be able to eat it if others are trying to eat their's at the same time' I might be a bit upset. I will just stick to simcity 4...

PoE: Races/Partying. Both not single-player.
Even if they included offline single-player, you would have to be removed from the online economy (no trading) since no-one can verify your awesome loot drops anymore.
Multiplayer is core to PoE.

cont... they won't even refund money for digitally bought copies of the game. Polygon has even reduced the score of the game a 2nd time to a 4. That's less than half of the original score(9.5) because they keep changing the playing experience. That's honesty. I've also seen reviews before (cont)

It is not needlessly whining because they were promised something on that day in exchange for money which they were not given. Now they are even reducing what they gave the players.

Actually, I continue to be amazed at all of these companies that utterly fail to prepare for the huge onslaught of customers that are going to want to play on Day 1.
It's like they assume that they might have one, maybe two players on Day 1. It is utterly amazing.

@Game critics SUCKS: I'm not sure if the game critics are dishonest so much as the players are needlessly whining because they can't get their cake at just this moment.

Server launch problems aside, it actually is a good game. No teraforming doesn't really matter to me cause the regions are a thousand times better made than any I could make myself. Fun game, smoother launch then some I've went through and stuck with. Real shame EA didn't do a real stress test.

It's a very slow game. Don't put water and roads everywhere, it's not that needed.
You need to have a positive balance sheet at all times. If you don't, wait for your city to grow to have more population (i.e. more taxes), raise taxes or create more zones.
