I only tend to play games when i'm bored on a plane flying somewhere - the necessity for it to be connected to the internet for copyright protection after I pay $10 is devastating. I'm sure they will still make a lot of money and I make up a very small fraction of their market, but it's still quite frustrating being punished as a paying user.
- Andrenid 10y agoI live on a farm with expensive/limited satellite net. I'm also a huuuuge Mario fan and retro game collector. I /was/ really excited for Mario Run but the always-on requirement makes it a no-buy for me and really disappointed me. Worst part is all my friends are saying it's a great game!
- jimmaswell 10y agoI'm sure it'll be cracked eventually, so you could just pay for it then get that.
- wapz 10y agoI really don't understand why they made it always on. They could have made it like steam where if you don't login for a few days you get locked out (or very limited access). I still want to buy it when it comes out on Android to support the paid game model with no IAPs.
- mads 10y agoYes, this is disappointing. My Internet here is very flaky and it takes the joy out of playing this game somewhat.
- bsharitt 10y agoGames are my fall back when I'm bored and don't have an internet connection, other wise I don't generally play mobile games.
