SIMCITY Offline Mode No Longer Impossible

Read the article in full on http://www.starburstmagazine.com/ this is simply a preview.



Along with the problematic Diablo III, the disastrous launch of SimCity has proven to be one of the biggest arguments against Always-On DRM in recent years. The constant requirement for an internet connection caused the title no end of problems when it was released back in March of last year. With waiting lines to access a single player game, server crashes and countless errors which plagued the title which elevated Maxis’ to infamy in the eyes of the public.
