Looks like EA is taking backpedalling lessons from Microsoft. Remember how "impossible" it was for Maxis to develop an offline version of SimCity 5? Turns out it's not as impossible as they made it out to be, as they're seriously considering doing an offline port. Of course, hackers proved that offline mode was not only possible, but really stupid simple, but better late than never on EA's part.
Do you think this will be a positive boost though?
The early adopters get the shit version of the game for nothing. While others that waited and got it maybe even cheaper in a deal get a better version. Do you really think this will have no negative effect on the next game they try to pull this on?
Sim City sold really well for them. If they make it better now all the early adopters will be pissed. Especially since the cities themselves still are too small and they had to play on lower speeds (the fastest game speed was disabled because servers could not handle it).
What happens once the first addon hits the stores? (It's Maxis/EA. You know they are coming.)

The first addon is already getting people mad. It's 9 dollar blimps.
