SimCity goes offline.

I know a lot of people aren't going to care too much about this thread, but I'll make it anyway.

SimCity 2013 or SC 5 or whatever you wanna call it, got the offline mode update...yesterday.
Opinions? Are you finally going to play it?

Too little too late.

Well it's good to see that EA can make the right thing in the end... Even though it's like a year later or so.

It doesn't matter for EA. They have millions of worshipers already, many of them new people who have been lured in by Titanfall. Create a legendary game, and people will buy whatever they produce.

About time. Now they just need bigger maps.

I thought that bigger maps were available as a microtransaction or something.

Sounds like something EA would do.

It should have come standard. I didn't have any plans on playing it either way though.

[DoctorStrongbad]

I am still going to not play it.

“GlassBox is the engine that drives the entire game—the buildings, the economics, trading, and also the overall simulation that can track data for up to 100,000 individual Sims inside each city. There is a massive amount of computing that goes into all of this, and GlassBox works by attributing portions of the computing to EA servers (the cloud) and some on the player's local computer,” Bradshaw writes.

Not like anyone ever believed it but I'd love to see them explain this PR crap now.
