"SimCity: Maxis 'exploring the possibility' of offline mode, confirm city size won’t increase"
In the case of SimCity, for me at least, it's pretty much a matter of too little (har har) too late. Unlike Diablo III, which I would still, even now, possibly consider buying at some point if Blizzard ever came to their senses and finally removed the asinine always online requirement from the PC version, I've pretty much already dismissed SimCity altogether, even if "Maxis" (i.e. EA) does eventually remove the inane always online crap.
