The new game requires the player to be online, but connection fail!

Sim City is fixed now, but it was horrendous for the first few days. I held off on buying it at first because I was in the closed beta for it and connection problems were appalling.

At least Crysis didn't suffer this. That was quite a blemish on Maxis and EA.

Lol, all hail the new Tyrant EA - Destroyer of Worlds.

"You think you've had it bad?"

What does that even mean and how is it relevant to the issues being highlighted about Crysis 3 (i.e. balance issues mostly)??

Always-online singleplayer games have always been retarded.

> Ubisoft tried it, majority of their games got pirated to oblivion on PC and they became infamous for godawful DRM practices.
> Blizzard did it with Diablo 3, resulted in the Error 37 crisis and people breaking their keyboards on the hardest modes because their connection broke (or lagged) and they died. While playing singleplayer.
> EA tried it with SimSity, we all know how that turned out.

Wonder which retarded developer will try it next?
