Well what did they call the all-day-everyday internet connection requirement again?
EDIT: Apparently its "Drm"

It's called digital rights management.

Which I don't really have much of a problem with if the servers are managed properly. Drm is going to be the future of gaming and I think it's silly for someone to not have a solid Internet connection in 2013.

DRM is a load of stuff contrived by publishers to force a business model on you. the main reason is to prevent piracy. side effects of it: all of this other bullstuff.
if DRM is the future, gaming is forgeted.

Ok chicken little.
Sure DRM is bullstuff, but right now the game is running perfectly fine for me. I connect no problem and my city saves correct. Sure the release was handled like stuff but it'll be fine for everyone in a few days. People keep referencing Diablo 3, it did have a very similar stuffty release. But they ignore that DRM didn't make the game bad, but the game being bad made it bad. You can play it no problem right now.
I hate DRM as much as the next person but I don't think that it is literally Riddler like most people seem to.
