"We are very proud of the way EA evolved with consumers. I have not green lit one game to be developed as a single player experience. Today, all of our games include online applications and digital services that make them live 24/7/365." -- Frank Gibeau, President, EA Labels. Thanks supererogatory via Destructoid. Frank walks back from that in a follow-up on Kotaku, where explains that these aren't the droids we're looking for: "I still passionately believe in single-player games and think we should build them. What I was trying to suggest with my comments was that as we move our company from being a packaged goods, fire-and-forget business to a digital business that has a service component to it. That's business-speak for ‘I want to have a business that's alive and evolves and changes over time'."

Sepharo wrote on Sep 5, 2012, 22:28: Relevant Ars article: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/06/sharing-your-simcity-with-others/ Holy fucking shit. From the article:
The developers are adamant that they'll be putting backstops in place to prevent those kind of day one issues, but said that if it becomes a problem they could briefly allow people to play offline while things get fixed.
So they are putting in an online requirement, but they admit that it's entirely possible to play the game offline. At least Blizzard claimed (rightly or wrongly) that they couldn't remove the online component because it was integrated into the game. EA is flat-out stating that they could allow the ability to play offline. If they weren't dicks. |
