EA Can't Say It Wasn't Warned About SimCity DRM

[Dec 18, 2012, 12:23 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A few days ago the developers at Maxis subjected themselves to a reddit AMAA session to discuss SimCity, the next installment in EA's urban planning series. In this case, the offer to ask then anything provoked a number of questions about the controversial decision to make being online a requirement to play the game, and Techdirt points to a separate thread compiling comments from the session on this proposed DRM. Thanks Shok.

People keep bringing up Diablo3's DRM scheme, but thats the least of THAT game's problems.

Just as always on DRM is the least of SimCity's problems. The main problem with this game is that its more like SimVille or FarmVille or some casual shit like that where you have to have friends help you out and just clicking randomly on your screen will probably let you finish the game...

Another retarded game for the retarded masses. Behold the de-nerdification of gamers...




I have a nifty blue line!
