1) Always Online
2) Activate Online
3) No restrictions
- freehunter 13y agoIsn't this already possible with any game on the Xbox 360 or any other modern gaming console? This even happens on the PC. So whether or not that rumor is true has no bearing on anything. It's not news; it already exists and has for years.
- illuminate 13y agoOf course it is, which is why the "rumor" is utterly stupid. EA and whatever other publishers have forced certain games through their servers for online-only already. The rumor is fact for existing generations of console systems. Don't buy those games if this displeases you. If you want to avoid console gaming because this exists, stay away from Steam because the same games are purchasable from Valve's service with the same always-on DRM. The Steambox or whichever isn't going to refuse the publishers their sweet, sweet DRM.
