Here is a link to the SimCity Reddit AMA, the link is uncensored and unedited by the SimCity marketing department.
There was a link to an edited version but that has been taken down. I commented previously with a link to the actual AMA but my comments have been removed.
It is very important to note that without being constantly online you will not be able to play SimCity. This is called DRM, this version in particular is what is known as "Aggressive DRM" - the worst kind of DRM.
You would think EA would have learn't from Blizzard's experience with Diablo 3, apparently not though.
Don't support DRM. Don't buy this game. EA Maxis is censoring the community - go to the forums and read peoples opinions.
