In one of the videos a developer says that a large part of the city simulation is done on EA servers and the data is then sent to your computer.
It almost appears as if EA doesn't trust the individual consumer to handle city simulation. I understand that some people may not be able to handle it, but couldn't there be an option to disable that? It is sort of looking in my opinion as an excuse of EA to take control out of the player.
It's more against pirates than the players. What you just said is just stupid.
Not if they eventually charge monthly.
It won't stop pirates. Assassins creed 2 needed a connection to the ubisoft server, So they made a server emulator.
I'm not liking this "EA calculates the game for you". I understand it's for the whole global economic idea but really I don't want to partake in the whole world's economy. This is just balony.
