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, 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.

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.

I have just signed the petition as I think it's stupid that you always need to be online but if people buy the game for single player they shouldn't need to go online to play it it's stupid and I can see them getting a lot more buyers if they remove the online barrier.
