I thought this SimCity wasn't online only, but required an online connection to start, but doesn't need to persistently be there. Not sure that's an important distinction, but some seem to care.

It's definitely forced multiplayer and always online. Maybe they're not going to kick you if you lose connection but the social aspect is required.

This is the article that clarified it I believe.

Ah.
In truth I don't see much of a difference between always-on and needs-to-check-before-playing. If it's more than an activation it may as well be always on.
