Sim City

Why in the hell are they forcing people to log on their servers for traditionally single player games?

Why is this trend growing, i cannot stand that.

Basically, it's DRM -- their way of controlling piracy.

There is a multiplayer facet of the game, but I have to believe most people that play Sim City are doing it solo. It's really stupid of them to force it online.

I read some related article where some VP at EA refuses to green light any project unless it has a multiplayer component to it. Just one more reason to hate EA, I guess.
