The Biggest Disaster in SimCity Ruins It for Everyone

SimCity's sixth major release from Maxis, a division of Electronic Arts (EA), hit the gaming scene last week with much excitement. But overcrowding of EA's required server, Origin, prevented gamers from actually playing the game and excitement quickly turned to frustration.

In this comic, Scott Johnson of ExtraLife wonders if SimCity's biggest disaster — despite tornadoes, earthquakes and UFO encounters — is actually Origin itself. Luckily EA announced that the servers should be fixed soon.
