According to Lead designer Stone Librande, it has been confirmed that the next installment of SimCity will require a constant internet connection. Perhaps as a form of DRM, the 2013 edition looks like it will be the first to include online play but will alsorequire you to constantly be connected to Origin to play — even if that wasn't your point of purchase. Add SimCity to the growing list."
