| Lame game companies... To begin with, people who pirate the games will not intend to buy it in the first place, so why the heck the implement this ways to screw the paying customer? Same thing with movies, people who pirate them will not go to theaters.
Also, it will probably cost them more in the end to pay to keep these servers up and running. |

I REALLY hope it does. But then when they take them down poof no more game for you EVER.
Have they cracked D3's yet? I have no interest in playing it but I'm curious. |

If what EA has said about part of the simulation being server-side (rumoured to be the regional level interaction), it won't be that easy. And if it does happen, there might be missing functionality. |

I don't know how they can do that. The save games are stored on EAs servers |

True - look at "Hellgate: London" as a prime example.
As stated before, phoning home is (somewhat) acceptable, but unless it's someting in the MMORPG vein, "always online" is a deal breaker. |

It's not aimed at pirates. Its aimed at hurting steam. Of course if they offered it for a decent price on steam without drm I'd actually buy it. So in the end they are hurting themselves.
But it is the legitimate paying customer that they are focused on screwing. And it looks like in this job they have succeeded. Too bad. Because I was thinking of getting the new sim city. And now I certainly won't. |
