The worst part about DRM, as far as preventing piracy, is the pirates (yarrr) just find a way around it and the only one’s punished are the gamers who actually bought the game.
SIM CITY IS GETTING AN OFFLINE MODE!
That’s all I really have to be excited about in video games lately, since the rather disappointed reveal of the first generation of Steam Machines and the fact that the cheapest one ($500) lacks the power to play the high-end games that were my entire reason to want a Steam Machine.
Also, @EA – know what works better than always-on DRM? How about do like you did with the Sims 3, and include codes inside the package or with a download from Origin for exclusive DLC. They can play offline, but in order to redeem their codes they have to connect for just a short while, probably long enough for you to verify it’s a legit copy of the game.
(I mean, after this and the whole “Spore can only be installed 3 times” fiasco, they’d take a page from one of their most popular and fan-backlash free franchises.)
He would appear dead. Tony would approach his eternal rival, thinking just for one second that maybe it is over. Only then would Battle T-rex rise again.

Well they announced Sim 4 as DRM-free. SO I think they may have it figured out. Maybe. haha
I’m interested to see what Battle T-rex’ next move is going to be
