SimCity Updates

Totally off topic, but SimCity holds a special place in my heart because the original SimCity was what got me hooked on computers.  Anyways, Simcity 4 had some bugs that prevented the biggest sky-scrapers from appearing.  If you want to see something scary, check out their message boards.  People were threatening lawsuits against Maxis, demanding that the patch be released immediately, and making all kinds of threats about Maxis telling them to tell a date they will release the patch, and Maxis could only tell them soon.  Be thankful that you only have to develop mission-critical software, and not games for 15 year olds.  SimCity.com has a poem for the patch:

Good news for those who hate "soon"
Cause it has been as close as the moon
But today is the day
We pass an update your way
And your city enjoys a new boom
