So many people believe that the majority of purchasers (offline players) have funded development for a minority (online players)
If Olegs preference (as he has repeatedly stated) is for Online play...then that business model (volume offline purchasers funding preferential development for minority online players) will continue unless some kind of pay to play business model is introduced.

Actually......The supposed "requoted/exagerated/twisted" online to offline ratio is getting very tired. Fact of the matter is, anything even vaguely resembling the numbers folks like to quote came from a time and region where online activity had not developed fully....In the short run of this sim for ALL area's internet connections have dramatically improved.

How dramatic?.....From none to cable/wireless/satellite in many cases.....Along with that came greater online activity in all regards, and that applies to this sim as well.

Fact of the matter is, no matter how much so many here want to keep shouting how they're "100% offline" posting away here and seen on HL or elsewhere regularly, nobody is buying into the rediculous "95% offline" bunk.

If you play online AT ALL....you're an onliner....That most likely makes about 70-80+% of the player base. All the spin-twist-propaganda to the contrary fooling no one.
