SimCity [Megathread]

[Comatose]

Why five?  There's no needed set number to be right or wrong.

I can give one good reason though, just go on /r/simcity and see all the people who have problems with the servers.

I just would like substantial evidence.

You can't pirate SimCity.

I'd also like five, supported examples on how the DRM is affecting consumers.

There is no offline play

Consumers cannot trade save files because they are in the cloud

No singleplayer

Requires a constant internet connection which renders the game unplayable if you're downloading another Origin/steam game or just a heavy file.

Lag issues could be possible. Diablo 3 had lag in single player.

drivers are updated

i honestly do not have a single loving clue what is happening

My dad just brought this home, and I was never really interested in it to begin with, but I might as well give it a shot.

This kind of DRM I'm sad to say is effective. Because all simulation is run on servers, it would take probably several years to even crack the game.

i'd give it a month at most
this drm isn't anything special, fairly certain they just have to emulate the server then do all their normal cracking antics

My rating on the actual game, 10/10.

I'm kind of tempted to buy the game off Origin right now and play it immediately since I have off of school, then just sell the $40 key I paid for when it arrives to a friend.
