Once the commuting, tourists, and conga-lines are fixed, the game (IMO) will be ready for release and we can start looking forward to expansions-bigger cities, different resources, all that good stuff. If they offered an open ended beta for the full price of the game, I would have paid it, and essentially had the experience I've had thus far. I was so eager to play, I signed up for the betas and played as much as I could while they were online. I expected a near flawless experience, but became a QA engineer. In the end, this is what I've come to accept… I paid full price for a beta. Commuters commuting, students traveling to universities, Fire trucks not traveling in a conga-line, busses reducing traffic problems, not creating them, etc. More likely they will eventually get the game to a place where it should have been at launch-all features working and optimally tuned. With that said, even with the bad press so far, I highly doubt the executives are going to pull the plug on the game and just stop development-they sold a lot of copies. I would bet that the long-term goal for SimCity is a model not unlike The Sims, where they continue to make money off expansion packs.

It seems like a big patch is coming-unlike the smaller 'quick' fixes we've seen through 1.8: It seems that the development team is still working diligently on fixing what they know is broken and can fix quickly, pushing out patches, and staying involved more than ever before on networks like Twitter. My initial desire to overcome the small city size was to utilize the region fully and build my residential cities and my industrial cities separately and have my people commute. With commuting broken, the small size of the cities is horribly apparent. is mostly delay-free), we still have major issues with commuting. Now that the servers are mostly delay free (gifts are pretty immediate, syncing of power, sewage, etc. They should have seen the convoys of busses, emergency vehicles, and garbage trucks. Those in development must have known about the issues we are all seeing-even with the most recent patch (1.8 as I write this). I've accepted the fact that this game was released earlier than it should have been. I went through a confusion stage, a frustration stage, a denial stage where I tried everything to get commuting and casinos to work, I even gave the game up for about a week once I realized these things were simply broken. Perhaps though, I've moved onto a stage of grief which some of you have yet to reach-acceptance. I will however, preface this entire post with the full admission that I have been frustrated with the game since minute one of release.

OK, so feel free to downvote me to oblivion, but I am going to come at this from a completely different point of view than most of the posts here.
