| JinxRake said: I find it a childish form of protest. As controversial as this may sound: if you don't want always on online play, just download a crack after you have the game installed. The solution is simple, but I'm certain it's about something else rather than just playing the game without DRM. Metacritic is a good idea for a site, but the gamer community that frequents it is...quite dumb actually. But then again, expecting any sort of mature behavior on the internet is akin to madness. |
The problem with getting a crack running with this new Simcity is the fact that you cannot make a save file unless connected to a server, so a simple crack will not work in theory as there is no local save option for the game. In time someone will mod/crack/fix the game, and then it will be pirated in droves, but it may be impossible to actually purchase the gameand simply download a crack when there is no save feature built in without online.
Besides that I can understand the anger spending 50 dollars on a agme for a sinlgeplayer experiance and not being able to play for 20 minutes due to server lag, when there is no need to have this required in the least other than to combat piracy in the most intrusive way possible. If anything this should cause people to want to pirate the game in the future to avoid all of this madness :P
