Ask HN: How many of you will buy Sim City for Mac?

6 pointsby michaelrhansenabout 12 years ago
Given the recent fiasco with the new Sim City release, I was curious how many people on HN would still buy the Mac version (in April??)? I know many people purchased the PC version and are running it on a PC VM, just curious who else would make the purchase given how EA has handled the initial launch.

I liked Sim City 2000 enough (and bought it a second time recently on <a href="http://www.gog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gog.com/</a> ) that I would have bought the new one had it not been for the AI issues. The DRM sucks but this is one game I would have put up with it for. But it's a shame the DRM basically makes it more of a disposable game where you'll probably not have the magical experience of loading it up 20 years from now to relive good times.

I wonder if it will be further delayed. That being said, my brother is considering purchasing it, but I am holding off.

Hell no! I do however plan on playing a SimCity ROM on my SNES emulator.

I've just bought Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. Can't waste too much on another 70 bucks or 90 the editors collection.

I would never put up with DRM and EA's business practice, but it is hard to resist a new version of SimCity.

The most meaningful vote you can cast is with your money. Nothing for EA.

Nope, both because of DRM, AI and general server glitchiness.

Nope. Those aren't people I should do business with.

Probably will.... just a little curious, no?
