EA has detailed the list of Origin games it will offer to customers affected by the disastrous launch of SimCity.
All copies of SimCity registered on Origin before March 25 will give applicable customers a chance to pick one free game from the following list:
Battlefield 3; Bejeweled 3; Dead Space 3; Mass Effect 3; Medal of Honor: Warfighter; Need for Speed: Most Wanted; Plants vs. Zombies; and SimCity 4: Deluxe Edition.
The games provided, with the exception of Sim City 4, are all standard edition.
EA will roll out the redemption process across its three territories in waves, starting in North America by 5 p.m. PT on Wednesday, March 20, before reaching Europe by March 21, and then Asia and South America before the end of March 22.

If you could even report it in the first place.
Hint: You couldn't even.

EA and Maxis have fallen out of my grace with this desaster anyway. Sim City 4 Deluxe for a tenner is the last money they're gonna see from me.
They deserve the fuckton of opportunity cost for delibarely ignoring everything their once loyal fanbase told them about the completely pointless online restrictions months over months.
