Hacker Skips SimCity Full-Time Network Requirement

Posted by timothy on Thursday March 14, 2013 @02:30AM from the expected-lies-and-got-some dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from Geek.com: "Ever since SimCity launched, there has been a suspicion that the need for the game to always be connected to a server was mainly a form of DRM, not for social game features and multiplayer. Then a Maxis developer came forward to confirm the game doesn't actually need a server to function, suggesting the information coming out of EA wasn't the whole truth. Now EA and Maxis have some explaining to do as a modder has managed to get the game running offline indefinitely." The writer names a few small ways in which the game is actually improved by being offline, too.

Yes, he did skip the "full-time" network requirement, exactly as stated. Apparently both you and the idiots voting you as informative don't read what is actually written, and instead read and vote based on what they WANT to read.
