After a week of SimCity players achieving the "impossible" by successfully running the game offline, Maxis general manager Lucy Bradshaw has once again taken to the game's blog to provide some "straight answers" about the title's always-on design. Bradshaw did not address the discovery that the game can actually be played offline, however, she did explain/spin that the connected design was not due to DRM. She also revealed that even people who want to play SimCity solo like the game's always-on experience.
