Need for Speed 2015 Petition Created To Remove Always Online

4.8
Having a game that’s typically focused on single-player content suddenly require and force gamers to have to be online usually doesn’t go down well in the gaming community. In the case of the Need For Speed, the upcoming reboot for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, the revelation that the game would require online internet and Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus to play, prompted some gamers to start the expected Change.org petition asking EA and Ghost Games to remove the online barrier, while other gamers took to forums, chats and YouTube to decry the decision.


The petition on Change.org to remove the always-on feature from the barely-announced Need For Speed reboot (and truly, we barely know much of anything about the game based on the sparse bit of information available) draws comparisons to the 2013 release of SimCity as a route not to go, especially since it ultimately ended with Maxis shutting down. Petition creator Jesse Young writes…
“EA and Ghost, we get that you want to push for more seamless, more interactive experiences with Need for Speed and other franchises of yours, but there can be a way to allow for this to happen without pushing away your consumers and fan-base.

“So I’m pleading you, along with many others, to remove the always-online requirement from the Need for Speed reboot. This may allow you to regain some of your lost potential buyers and can be one step towards improving both the link between publishers/developers and the public.”

Tree_Fiddy EVERYONE should have internet anyways. If not then why do you game? Everyone has access to internet so why not just let them do it?


Jesus Christ you're ignorant. Why do you think physical copies of games are still sold instead of everything being digital? There are plenty of people across the world with shitty internet or no internet access at all. There is no damn law saying you have to have internet to play games. If you want to play the single player part of the game you shouldn't need an internet connection to do so.


I agree with GT-R... I don't have my own wifi I use my neighbors


You don't need top quality internet to play this game? What is steam? You buy copies from steam? That's all digital bro you need to be online. When you buy a game on disk on xbox one you install it not from the disk but from the INTERNET, you need disk to verify you have that you have it. Everyone this day in age has internet, if you don't then ( doubt it ) then whats the point of doing anything with a pc xbox or playstation if you just play the game by yourself with no friends to talk to.

You're so ignorant. 60% of the world's population does not have internet.

But how much of that population plays games offline? Even in Africa they have internet and most poor places. If you can afford a system to play games you for damn sure have money to pay for internet. Who would spend 1200 dollars on a gaming pc to not have internet? If anything your ignorant.


Where did he say they couldn't afford it? There are rural areas where people don't have internet access because no ISP wants to waste money building infrastructure out there. If they do have any option at all for it then it's satellite internet with ridiculously small data caps.


Then why the fck would they spend loads of money on a console or pc to play games if they don't have Internet? Don't say becuase of jobs becuase they can get a cheap laptop that's made for doing work on. Think man c'mon


For entertainment? Are you **** dense? Are you one of those people who believe you need a bunch of online friends or you just don't have a social life? Do you also think single player only games should be always online too? Either you're a troll or you're extremely stupid.


My co workers and I play xbox with each other when ever. I'm just saying what normal person would buy a gaming console or pc not to go online or own internet. People like you act like OH MY GAWD INTERNET IS UBER EXPENSIVE, No that's not the case. Not only that most places have internet now a days so it's not like its new technology or anything. Also people who play singleplayer all the time mostly have internet to either check emails or download games.

Because not everyone can afford monthly payments for internet. Not everyone likes to play online, some prefer to play on their own and fly through game campaigns. You're so ignorant.


I'm ignorant? If you can't afford $10 a month for internet but can afford a $350 console or $1000 computer to play on then why would they want the console? Jesus Christ everyone can afford internet it's cheap. People can still play campaign offline they should just need internet to sync game data to server. Please just stop

True, but I highly doubt the 60% has Xbox One or PS4.
large amounts of this 60% of people live in dense rural areas that barely have access to reliable power.

Headlong Tree_Fiddy, not everyone lives with their parents. Most people work hard and make enough money, but don't think they should have to buy a stupid membership for only one game. Online gameplay is not necessary to everyone.


I live in my apartment near my parents in buffalo and work in walmart? I don't make much money but I can afford good internet. I make 8.75 an hour. You need internet in schools, and most work places in order to place orders? Sure online game play isn't for everyone but most people who play offline have internet so your agreement is invalid.
