EA prohibited discuss offline mod for Simcity
Electronic Arts declared war to users who, using a special mod, decided to wean Simcity From the habit of regularly connect to Origin servers. Of course, the company has not yet blocking the accounts of such players, but it has already deleted from official forums all the topics related to the discussion of the fashion.
Eric Reynolds, which is responsible for Maxis for public relations, said that a discussion of Simcity hacking methods violates the rules of the user agreement. “Please leave our forums, and discuss it [mod] in another place. We have always supported the Modder community and will do this in the future. But the hacking of the game has nothing to do with the creation of modifications, ”Raynolds wrote on his Twitter.
Although, perhaps, the reason for such a sharp reaction lies in another. For example, the fact that the developers themselves managed to say that the inclusion of a completely offline regime in the game will require great efforts from the team. The appearance of almost the next day of the fan modification, the author of which managed to achieve what even the creators of the game publicly declared too complicated, was very struck by the reputation of Maxis.
Not long before this 666 casino sister sites news:
Electronic Arts and Maxis have not yet solved the technical problems of Simcity, but instead of developers, enthusiasts players are ready to do this. One of them, hiding under the nickname Azzeruk, said that he managed to force Simcity to work without connecting to Origin servers. By default, Simcity allows you to play offline for no more than 20 minutes, but Azzeruk managed to overcome this restriction. As confirmation, he published a video that can be watched on this page. There are also other useful information about the undocumented capabilities of the game.
Azzeruk modification fully confirms the recent rumors that the correct operation of Simcity does not need to connect to Origin servers. It remains a mystery only why the game cannot officially wean from online, solving many problems at once. Representatives of the developers have already managed to say that it will be possible to realize offline mode only at the cost of huge efforts that the studio cannot yet go to. Apparently, this is not quite true.

You can see this not as at the “semicircle”, but as on the “half -patch”. And in general, they should take this person to work, since he was able to do so quickly what was very difficult for the whole team of developers. : D
that it will be possible to realize offline mode only at the cost of huge efforts that the studio cannot yet go to.
Of course, to bring out from the binge of a drunk locksmith Uncle John, who connected Simcity to Orgin is a huge effort. Perhaps someone is deaf or go to beat. Oh come on. It’s better not to take risks.
In the place of EA, I would take this genius, which drove Simcity to offline, to work.
Supered. Well, why can not be honest not to say that the permanent online is created to fight pairing? And in general, why you can’t make normal online?
EA is not Valv, they have 1800 engineers who cannot get the game from online, why do they need one guy who can:
