I wish developers had more power, but believe me, 90% of the time they are completely beholden to their publisher. In this case, Maxis is a 100% owned subsidiary of EA. They have no ability to kill the project walk way in protest (other than individuals quitting). The most you can do is plead your case, but it is ultimately EA execs making the call.

Anyway, note this exchange on Twitter with the SimCity producer, Ocean Quigley. -- Iain Kidd @oceanquigley Just wondering if you regret the decision as creative director to refuse to provide an offline mode now? Ocean Quigley @iainkidd Making a lot of assumptions there. https://twitter.com/oceanquigley/status/309710429687537664 https://twitter.com/oceanquigley/status/309710429687537664
