@simcity @Azbiker72 Is #Maxis aware that many of us do NOT care about multiplayer? I'd rather have a singleplayer, offline, large city game.

@simcity So you're currently designing the next installment of single player right? I've never wanted to play simcity with strangers ._.;

@simcity It's possible. You just don't want to do it.

@simcity @Azbiker72 Defective By Design is the very definition of DRM: http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ 

@simcity @Azbiker72, I'm a software developer. They're lying to you. It's not easy but it's possible.

@simcity But forcing the game design around MP leaves everyone who doesn't want to play MP in the dark and unable to play

@simcity @azbiker72 Surely, an offline patch would mean sacrificing the online multiplayer aspect. Not a bad idea @ end of the game's life.

@simcity @Azbiker72 so it is possible now. Nice.

@simcity @Azbiker72 If anything, a local server shouldn't have nearly as much load since the other cities in the region aren't being edited.

@simcity @Azbiker72 You could run the server as a seperate process on the local computer without grinding it to a halt.
