I don't think they're ruining it. Some people don't care about DRM / DLC with gaming (like myself). I just want the best possible gaming experience.
Yeah, until they shutdown the server shortly after the next Sim City is released, making your old game unless. EA has a habit of doing things like that.

It worked in that utopia called Somalia after all. :-)
The non-sharia controlled parts have been better off than they were with their previous government. Their air travel industry is even profitable, more than we can say. I'd say that's a lot more than you could ask for considering the exploitation of the region.

"What these government-haters" Hi. libertarian here. I don't hate government. Government is probably a necessary evil. I hate obnoxious, inefficient, bug-ridden, corrupt, expensive, government.

The simulation was a huge resource drain in SC4. So I can see how offloading it would be a speed up. That said, if it's such a drain on today's insanely powerful desktop computers, they must have an insane backing server infrastructure in place to support it. I've got 50W worth of processing power available for the sim engine (investing half of my CPUs; still far more power than I had for SC4), are they going to put…
I'm just curious, why are you using Watt as a unit here? Is that like, half the TDP of your CPU or something?

sadly, EA is ruining what looks like an otherwise very promising game with DRM and DLC

I doubt that this way of playing will be possible in the new Sim City.
