This makes me break out in nervous groin sweat: "SimCity will require players to be logged into EA's Origin service to play the game, even single player."
Which means if you do in fact get the jack sparrow version of the game you can rely on a project that was loved by some people enough to share it with the world. These people have listened to others demands and have removed the always on DRM.

Not that im condoning such a horrendous or illegal action, but it did kinda renew my faith in some other company's games while they went through a dark period of 90% theft rates.
