FWIW "dead Game" comments in a basically single player game are irrelevant .. just dont play...no one is forcing you to..

player count of 1 me..anyone else is a bonus and i'm happy to help the devs with POSITIVE suggestions and chat w other like minded players to solve "issues" with patches as they happen as this EA game progresses
BTW Even as it currently is, its great value for money in dollars per hour entertainment and IMHO you wont find a more unique game for the size it takes up on your HDU
