Peter Moore shared some statement to effect that EA no longer ships offline games, but products that are enmeshed in online and social functionality, last week at Gamescom.
In the massive EA blog’s today he gave the clarity to those statements and said EA’s approach does not mean all its games are required to be online.
“Many, if not most, of our games include single-player, offline modes that you can play entirely without an Internet connection, if you so choose,” Moore wrote. “We know that’s something many of our players want, and we will continue to deliver it.”
Moore cleared about the negative perception toward EA’s free-to-play lineup, and said “We will continue to explore new free-to-play experiences for our franchises when we believe there is gamer interest and a cool new game we can build. But of course we will continue to deliver award-winning core gaming experiences on ALL of these franchises.”
