When a game requires an internet connection to work we call it DRM and slam it. When a text editor or spreadsheet requires an internet connection to run we call it innovation.
- robinh 14y agoThere is a significant difference between wanting to do something locally and an internet connection being required and wanting to do something on the internet because it works better than what you have locally.
- dragondilesh 14y agoThe situation isn't as simple as you put it. This time, there is single player game that shouldn't need forced interactivity with an internet connection. Compared to a text editor where the internet connection allowed multiple users to operate on it at the same time.

- bsg75 14y agoWhat editor are you using that requires a live connection? - If its cloud based: apples vs oranges - If not, get a better editor. Online spreadsheets or docs allow you to export to a locally accessible format. SimCity does not.
- n3rdy 14y ago> When a text editor or spreadsheet requires an internet connection to run we call it innovation. I would be raging if my text editor required an internet connection for me to access my local files. Al Capone rage even.
- unsignedint 14y agoRequiring and supporting are two completely different animals. If text editors and spreadsheets actually requiring you to have an internet connection, then I can see people criticizing about it.
