EA Australia Got An ‘Award’ For How Crap SimCity Was At Launch

Remember that new Sim City game? We were so excited about it, as were a bunch of other gamers who bought it. We were to be disappointed by stupid launch issues and a barely playable piece of software. It then charged Aussies almost $3 per minute to complain on the “help” line. For this most obnoxious of treatments, EA Australia has won one of Choice Magazine’s annual “Shonky Awards”. What the Razzies are to films, the Shonkies are to products and companies in Australia. Booooooooooooo. [Kotaku]
