Amazon Has Stopped Selling SimCity

Despite EA increasing the server capacity for SimCity over the next few days, Amazon.com has stopped selling the digital version of the game, switching it to "Currently unavailable." A special note underneath the listing also says, "Many customers are having issues connecting to the "SimCity" servers. EA is actively working to resolve these issues, but at this time we do not know when the issue will be fixed. Please visit https://help.ea.com/en/simcity/simcity for more information."
Unsurprisingly, the Amazon reviews for the game have it at just 1/5 stars after 877 customer reviews.

EA, however, deserves to be torched for this shit. Burn the witch!
No denying it, this really is exclusively EA's fault. You'd think EA would've learned from Blizzard's now infamous example that the always-online, server data streaming method of de facto DRM is only going to work if the servers CAN ABSOLUTELY HANDLE IT, and the consequences of failure can be disastrous for a brand's reputation. The Diablo IP is stained by that failure, and now we can add SimCity to the list.
EA's failure to correctly anticipate and prepare for the server load is on their heads, and I'm sure the decision to go always-online with the game was also solely their decision. The guys at Maxis must be freaking livid right now, seeing their favorite franchise get dragged through the mud because their publisher fucked up. it'd be nice if EA has the integrity to write them a check for lost sales, by way of an apology.
