The game is already built for all this online only nonsense... If they go offline now that would mean they have to take out A LOT of features and implement new one's... Haltering the production of any new games they're working on. NOT likely to happen... And please JUST GET OVER THE ONLINE ONLY DRM. It is what it is. If that's the direction EA is taking it then DON'T BUY THEIR GAMES or STOP COMPLAINING IF YOU DO. Complaining isn't going to stop them...BOYCOTTING is.
