- timje1 13y agoIt's not very PC to call them that.
- yareally 13y agoCracker, as in someone that "cracked" the DRM (which was done a while ago I believe).
- dragontamer 13y agoCracker usually entails "black hat". It would be proper to call him a "cracker" if he broke the DRM and distributed it on Bittorrent. Although if you crack the DRM, and then distribute it as a patch-file that modifies an already installed version of Sim City, that would be a "Hacker". Methinks he's using the term correctly. I'm just musing because it seems like a lot of people here are not accustomed to underground lingo.

- talmand 13y ago"Exploring the possibility" is more about deciding how to spin the fiasco to show that they intended to offer an offline play option from day one and it was all a big misunderstanding on the customers' part. You see, they'll have to show that the initial problems with the servers was because the online option was so popular and so heavily desired by customers that they had to focus on that before offering the option that hardly anyone really wanted in the first place.
