SimCity Marketing Stopped by EA 03-09-2013, 06:42 PM

EA have been under heat lately with their newest game, SimCity, which has been having major problems since launch. SimCity's servers buckled under pressure on release and customers became furious when they couldn't play the game. EA removed some features in the game to help deal with the server issues, but it has not ceased angst from the community.
Yesterday, Amazon stopped selling digital copies of the game due to an abundance of bad reviews given by customers. Today, they have stopped promoting the game and removed the links in Origin's LinkShare program.
This is what EA had to say about the issue:
"Hello Affiliates,
EA Origin has requested to pause all SimCity marketing campaigns temporarily, until further notice. We have deactivated all SimCity text links and creative and we ask you to please remove any copy promoting SimCity from your website for the time-being. To be clear we are continuing to payout commissions on all SimCity sales that are referred, however we are requesting that you please stop actively promoting the game. We will notify you as soon as the SimCity marketing campaigns have been resumed and our promotional links are once again live in the Linkshare interface. We apologize for any inconveniences that this may cause, and we thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Origin.com Affiliate Team"
