God, I wish. Ross Scott's rants have successfully swayed me to the side of detesting "games as a service" and any tributary thereof, including "always online" prerequisites for single-player games.

Like I'm okay with games as a service if it's designed to be multiplayer from the ground-up, without a single player experience. But as soon as it's a single player game and impossible to play without being connected to the internet...ewwwww |

I'm also not sure why this BS even caught on. Let me enjoy my single player games in peace without having to be online, please.

"Always Online" single-player serves no purpose other than trying to catch pirates, while not considering the fanbases they're repelling away. Loss aversion bias is a powerful fallacy. Business people don't always make business sense. Just look at housing bubbles (or any bubbles, for that matter).

I've never heard of such a brutal and shocking injustice that I cared so little about.

For the record: the launch of the SimCity title they're talking about was so ill-prepared on EA's part that amazon stopped selling the digital version of the game.

The original start was less evil, it was optional online events, that if you were offline just wouldn't appear, stuff like "another player is going to replace the AI for this boss fight"... Then some companies realised that they could use it as a form of DRM |
