To the makers of SimCity: EA Games

  1. Thanks for wasting my time with your constant pleas for me to like you on Facebook and follow you on Twitter.
  2. I DON'T want to like you on Facebook.
  3. I will NEVER follow you on twitter.
  4. I will not sign up for your newsletter.
  5. It bothers me that the disk I bought from Wal-Mart does not even have the actual game on it. It only has the Origin software and then you have to download it all from the internet.
  6. I have launched the game three times and it is still updating. AND IT TAKES FOREVER!!!

Good games are all about the GAME and not a bunch of external apps to connect with.

I have uninstalled the game and will try to return it.
