Bit weird, but this is EA, Sim City ring a bell? It is their choice, not MS's.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Edit: ahh ok it has "offline" multiplayer and works only online wtf

EA was probably also the biggest reason for what Microsoft planned with Xbox One. I think that's also the reason why EA got such a close relationship with Microsoft for Xbox One, because they thought there will be the 24h online check and used games stuff.

Single player only games are news... online only games are news... everything is news on a slow news day!

Anyhow, Gamefly is sending a copy my way for the 360. I look forward to playing it.
