True that; and screwing over their legal customers in a vain attempt to stop pirates. Like by not allowing one to manually download the patch from the website and forcing him/her to login to the game to get it. I said a few choice words the other night (see above post) and scared my boyfriend with my anger (he's used to most of it by now, though).
Besides, how stupid do you have to be to bork the game beyond all recognition by a PATCH which you then must fix with another patch? Idiotic. Though, again, I haven't come to expect much more from EA, though it does make me a little sad that they brain-slugged Will Wright as well.
lol, please, the Dark Lord of Maxis is hardly free of blame here. If he actually cared about gamers or ANYTHING beyond the sacred dollar he wouldn't have used the DRM - simple as that.

I cannot believe that no one else has mentioned this, but the patch disables tools when the game is paused. For this reason, I am going back to the original version until someone releases a mod that will enable tools while paused.
Gus Smedstad:
You're talking about Spaceship items like weapons, right?
I'm of two minds about that.
First, I never paused to turn those on. It never occurred to me, and I wouldn't bother now that I know you can do it. Clicking on the weapon icons isn't a slow process.
Second, I think it's stupid they took that out. Even though I don't use the feature, in general I approve of enabling orders while paused in most games.

SimDebster:
Yes, I am talking about the spaceship items. Not only weapons are disabled, but even the teleport up button is disabled in cargo. I use the pause in the heat of battle because through all of the explosions and allies flying around, it is very difficult for me to know where the enemy is. I do not usually play real time shooting games (FPS)because, basically, I suck at them. Maybe in time I will get better, but I doubt it. Until then, I really need my pause. Hopefully I am not alone in this.
