Nope, you read that perfectly right so those of you out there without good, dependable internet can have a good scream now. No, no, it's ok we'll wait. Feel better now? First Blizzard hits us with no LAN play for SC2 and now EA says you can't play sinlge player if you aren't logged on through the internet. Now we're sure this is all a way to keep piracy levels on the low for the game but we all saw how well that worked with Sims 3 and Spore, now didn't we? EA please stop trying to be crafty and lazy as to not implement an offline system. It just seems unfair to those gamers out there who don't have super rigs and are playing it with everything turned down at 12 frames per second just because they have a love of the game. Praise them, do not punish them.
