Title: EA is pushing "anti-piracy" by making singleplayer etc internet only
Post by: ๖Ϝцzsioᴎ on March 05, 2013, 04:22:24 AM
Nerd³ Doesn't Play... SimCity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHp91aqWB7M#ws)

Actual ranting begins at 0:58

This is in discussion instead of videos because it's mostly one of my favorite YouTubers ranting about EA's DRM.

TL;DW (stolen off of the video description)
Game cuts out after "minutes" of internet loss: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments... (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments...) (lul)

Can't save and load games: http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/sim-city-... (http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/sim-city-...)

Servers EA have closed: http://www.ea.com/1/service-updates (http://www.ea.com/1/service-updates)

Witcher 2 DRM version Pirated More: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Witc... (http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Witc...)

SimCity will feature microtransactions: http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/12... (http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/12...)

TL;DR
EA hates us and won't make it offline.

This is why I hate EA... I've been debating if I should get BF3 because of it.
But people are going to find ways in time to play without internet.

I didn't get it simply for that reason.

It's sad because SimCity looks like it would be amazing besides the crippling DRM's.

My only con with it is that the map is tiny. It's about the size of the medium sized tiles in Simcity 4.

But EA is still going to make a shit ton of money from it.

And when shit gets leaked, the drm is no longer effective, and ea keeps the drm anyways, legit customers will download the local server or whatever such shenanigans they use to emulate the server and use that. Or something. It always happens eventually...

Sims City 4:Delux 5ever

Though I sometimes mind it being retardedly hard, it's overall entertaining, I love the music, and I like the fact is DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE MOTHERFUCKING SIMS 3.

My fuck. I personally loved the older Sims look, all I've gotten from this new generation of Sims is shit.
So this is what I'm going to do, courteous of the ever so righteous Sims 2 sims:
Sims 2- Flaming bag of Poo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0XQ9knz9aE#)
I am going to take the poop and light it on fire, and leave it on the doorstep of their lousy company.

  Their DRM become a BS, I think all their brains overheated to the point that just BS came to it, They think they can stop hackers by merging that crap with their core code, BS, they are stupid, this mostly affects clients that really pay 80 fking usd to play a game that you don't know if you will be able to play in 2 or 3 years more.

  I saw all this problems with the servers people losing 5 hours of gameplay bcuz they stupidity, Server Overload and Stupid login but servers downtime.
 
  For 80$ this is a joke, people wanted a refound and they didn't give back, lulz they gave another copy of the game, that is like, HEY I GIVE U ANOTHER BUGGY SHIT to make ur friend fux forever kthxbai.

Hueuhueuhueuheuhuehue.
