If you're familiar with the genre of browser games where you trade resources, build armies, decide who to engage, etc I assume it's like that.
Relevant Ars article: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/06/sharing-your-simcity-with-others/ That's been really bugging me, particularly since they initially said you could play offline then reversed themselves. The excuse I always hear from people is that its a social thing that I don't get but I'm a huge social gamer, there are just some types of games you don't really need to socialize in. SimCity is all about creating complex cities and destroying to me, I have no interest in being a good neighbor to the Human Resources guy or whatever. I just want my crazy ass setup which I will then tornado into oblivion.
It's the McKorven Diablo 3 bullshit all over. "ITS A DESIGN CHOICE!!!!" What design choice? It's done arbitrarily for financial reasons, there is no legitimate reason they couldn't allow the player a toggle that they have already admitted exists.
