Anyone else concerned by the way Sims 4 is being broken up and sold?

Well according to the massive complaints back when they finally made it available offline that is what was posted in complaints. As I said as much as I loved Sim City and owned all previous versions through Rush Hour- would not buy Sim City 2013 because they went online. So I can only repeat what players were saying on the EA forum back then. They were definitely saying with out access to the cloud in offline the cities were puny....
