Simcity Disappointment

I preordered the new Simcity game in February of this year. I spent many months watching the development footage of the game just waiting for a chance to build my city! However, even though the game hit computers in March, I still haven't built my first city. This came because of a slight miscommunication by EA; the game didn't release for Mac in March. At first I was upset, but then I saw the complete disaster of a launch the game had. This slightly comforted me, I didn't have to fight through the damage control of the failure. Then EA announced the game would come to the Mac on June 11. I thought, "There is no possible way they will screw up the second release of the game." This happened though as it is June 12, and I still haven't built my city. I have never owned a Simcity game before, but I have always wanted one. Now the game features aspects that made the game exactly what I wanted, full 3D terrain and buildings. But, despite all the qualities that caused my desire for the game, I am unwilling to continue to wait for the game. I do not have the extra money to purchase a Windows computer, I doubt I would want a new Windows 8 anyways with the bad reviews I have heard from people, to play the game. Therefore I will do everything I can to have my money returned and once again, I will not be able to enjoy a game I have been waiting on for many years. I doubt I will succeed but I will try. I must admit, I studied marketing in college, it was one of my favorite subjects, and I believe EA needs to fire their marketing team. This has been a disaster. That is my rant for the day.
