That's why the "debate" is more important than ever, so The Sims developers figure out why their attempt at focusing on "free" Online play has failed both themselves and their paying customers miserably.

Please do not misunderstand this, but just how sure are you that their will be a DVD release of the game
It is far cheaper for a distributer to release games in a "Download Only format"
And then at a later stage sell a DVD with two or three of the expansions include...
Just kidding, lets hope that never happens or else there would be no offline players would there?
Lets look at one of the most successful online games of all time WOW (I hate it) Over 10 million players, paying monthly subscriptions plus buying the original games at normal game prices...
Give SOW an air, ground and sea arm (a really vastly improved WW2online) and you could have something similair...
How far is that away, well some-developer somewhere is looking for the next big thing... My point is Offline is great, I play it, so is online I play it too.
But lets not get caught in the IL2 sold so-many copies because it was an offline experience. IL2 sold so many copies because it was a great product way ahead of its time. Offering users something they had never before experienced.
I expect nothing less from SOW, and if that is online or offline I will be happy either way.
