Honestly, I don't mind the whole offline thing. It means nothing. My gaming machine is online 24/7. Internet outage? I'll just go outside and play stuff. Computer games don't rule my life.
My biggest gripe is how small cities are in simcity. Add the whole traffic situation.
Not sure how many of the issues they resolved, I have not played the game since launch, but the small towns are kind of annoying.

- Avshalom 13y agoIt's not My machine or My internet that worries me. And to prove the point when SimCity came out people were frequently unable to connect. Hell, /.; reddit; hackernews are constantly showing that serving static text isn't even solved yet. And in a couple years when they turn the servers off? it's fine for SimCity, now, because no one cares about online play but a lot of games just aren't going to be playable.
- vidarh 13y agoI still play games from the 80's occasionally. How many of the games you play now will still have functioning online servers 30 years from now, do you think? The "whole offline thing" is DRM, and it will break games people still care about with increasing frequency as major titles starts being affected.
