EA stop the presses on Simcity!

4.6

It seems EA has asked its affiliates to "stop actively promoting the game" until further notice. It is said this is due to the rampant server outages and stemming issues that have plagued the game since its launch. The following are snippets from the email EA sent to its affiliates involved in their LinkShare program.

"We have deactivated all SimCity text links and creative and we ask you to please remove any copy promoting SimCity from your website for the time-being."

"To be clear we are continuing to payout commissions on all SimCity sales that are referred, however we are requesting that you please stop actively promoting the game."

"We will notify you as soon as the SimCity marketing campaigns have been resumed and our promotional links are once again live in the Linkshare interface. We apologize for any inconveniences that this may cause, and we thank you for your cooperation."

Keep checking back for updates on the controversy surrounding SimCity!

Wagering Wait, they DON'T want people to advertise their game? O.o


they dont because people are saying too many negative things to the game
