Unlock through Origin or some other service?

Edit: Exactly as I hit 'Quick Post' I got an email informing me of the unlock - downloading now :D

**Prothescar** · 2013-03-05 00:54

isnt it origin only

**Kwijiboe** · 2013-03-05 00:54

This is why I don't do midnight launches anymore.

**Jintu** · 2013-03-05 01:00

Still haven't gotten the email or anything yet. I should of bought the pre-load day one dlc addon for $2.99.

Did you just leave Origin up or exit and relaunch it to see it as available?

**Kisamoo** · 2013-03-05 01:08

Clearly this is a precursor for Origin Premium - 9.99/mo to preload your games.

**Hank** · 2013-03-05 01:15

Still grayed out, but at least I have the code to my ducking park.

**Mistral** · 2013-03-05 01:15

So far I'm noticing a trend on the EA forums. Seems like people who bought the Digital Deluxe version are getting in, but Limited Edition people aren't. Might have something to do with that. >.>; Smooth.

I wish i had the money to purchase this only to be disappointed by no codes to play and online only BS

On a serious note, I really wish i could play this. I loved Sim City (SNES), and Since then I havent played much of the franchise, but It always holds a spot in my heart.

The game has evolved so much since the SNES version. In reality, this game is what Spore aimed to be. A life simulator (none of that Sims 3 bullshit where my Sim gets all of the ladies)

Saying that, 1:30 am, no code to unlock. Fuck you EA

**Lucavi** · 2013-03-05 01:25

Fuck. You. EA.

As if it hasn't been said before. As if it won't be said again. Fuck you.

**Kisamoo** · 2013-03-05 01:31

Got it finally, just limited edition.

**Lucavi** · 2013-03-05 01:35

Got email for the stupid pre-order bonus park, registered the code, got the stupid park, game is still greyed out as its "not yet released", cannot download.

What do, EA?

I just got that e-mail too. Some people are reporting that they got both an e-mail for the park and a separate one for the game. The game one is the one that unlocks it supposedly.

Preordered regular version which I guess w/ pre-order becomes Limited Edition. I didnt see the option to download until i closed out of origin entirely and when I relogged back in the option to download was available (around 1:15 AM). Download thru origin was really fast, around 2-5 mins, so I launched game and got this.

Spoiler-ed for big.

Spoiler: show

Took about 30 minutes but looks to be finishing up and hopefully can start playing. Never bothered to check emails, so no idea if i got any email.

**Mistral** · 2013-03-05 01:44

So. Lol @ EA forums.

Cop out much?

**Kononeko** · 2013-03-05 01:45

Yeah friend of mine just bought it downloaded it and is playing it now. leave it to EA to fuck up a release.

**Lucavi** · 2013-03-05 01:45

^ Just tried. Still greyed out. I just want to have it downloading while I go to bed tonight. I may just have to bite the bullet and try in the morning.

@Edit: Looks like they're giving their PR team a break for "maintenance". Classy. Take the money and run, EA.

**SamanosukeShiva** · 2013-03-05 02:54

cancelled my order through origin, bought from amazon instead, downloaded and installed sim city within minutes.

Fuck origin, never gonna order through them again.

**Lucavi** · 2013-03-05 02:59

Yeah, done with Origin. Still waiting.

This is complete tripe, but its expected when its EA. All the insults in the world don't accurately describe this company.
