So during this whole SimCity launch event, Maxis and EA have both maintained that SimCity requires a connection at all times to function and to give us offline play it would require a significant undertaking. The game is so entrenched in the cloud that bringing it offline is pretty much off the table. 

Except apparently that's not true. 

A trusted source came forward and revealed what really gets sent to the servers and said that bringing the game offline isn't a big deal.

kotaku also found that they were able to play without a problem with their Internet off for 19 minutes.

Well to add to this, in a way that will admittingly annoy you.   A friend of mine mentioned there is already a crack for the game.

Which i'd assume has to have allowed offline play.


This is one of those edge cases where I'll happily crack the game.
