"SimCity offline mode is 'almost there Mayors'"

[kane_magus]

For those very few who might still care about this game at all (which doesn't really include me, except to bitch about it), EA/Maxis is apparently finally going to implement offline mode for the game. This comes several months after they first started to explore that possibility, and almost a full year after they admitted the game should have been offline from the very start, which, to me at least, was a no-brainer. But then, this is EA we're talking about here, of course. You know, the geniuses who initially claimed offline mode was not possible, after all.

Oh well, better late than never? Well, maybe for some, but for me it's still more a case of too little too late, mainly because I've heard from too many people that the game still sucks ass even if you could ignore the online requirement (which I couldn't ignore).
