It's funny because I've heard it's a solid title. I'll probably get it.

You may want to remove that post, "Mister_X". Discovery doesn't condone the use of other than legal sources of acquiring software.

From what several reviewers have been saying, since the EA servers do an enormous amount of the calculations in order for the game to work, it will probably be increadibly difficult, if not impossible, for them to pirate this game.
Personally this scares the hell out of me, as if this level of DRM becomes the norm, it'll mean the people like me who actually go out and buy these sorts of games are being screwed over worse than the pirates! We'll be enjoying Error 37 and thier equvalents all the time, and only be allowed to play the games WE'VE BOUGHT when THEY SAY WE CAN!
DRM is anti-consumer. Especially at this kind of level. When you make it next to impossible to play something you've legally bought, then you've pushed it too far. I certainly will not be buying this game, funnily enough all watching clips of this game has done is convince me to dust off Sim City 4 and play that again instead.

Meanwhile, two days after the US release, the European release is going just as well.
In other words, hurray for the game telling me it can't connect to the servers. Over and over and over.

I refuse to purchase ANY game that is always-on DRM. I do not need to be connected to the internet to play a bloody single player game. Seriously EA, you've bought out all the good companies and killed them all. Please go away.

Slowly watching Sim City's metascore drop. At time of writeing its 71 with a user score of 1.5. Although I would point out many of the original reviews have since been re-writern with much lower scores. Just metacritic refuses to aknowledge that.

At least Europe got like four extra servers and an extra oceanic server. US still doesn't have that four.

Well, EA managed to make it to national news with the release:
