Online-only play is exactly what I am talking about as the (dystopian) future of gaming. Pushing more and more of the game into the cloud, so it becomes SaaS instead of worrying about DRM.

Freemium versus pay-up-front are both flavors of that.

Do we know that SimCity "flopped"? It's gotten lots of people angry at it, but that's not at all the same as not making money.

Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood. Well at this point I guess we could say it's at least on pause and certainly not a success.
