SimCity 'offline' game to be released as free download

Scene from SimCity
The makers of SimCity have announced they are to release an offline version of the game.
The news comes after repeated problems with the launch of the most recent release of the city-building game, which required players to be online.
Requiring connection to the internet was seen as an attempt to curb piracy, but some users struggled to log in.
The new offline version will be available to all players as a free download once testing is completed.
SimCity had been a stand-alone game up until March 2013, when a new online-only version was released.
The launch was beset by problems, with many gamers reportedly waiting 30 minutes or more before they could start to construct a city.
Others said the game was sluggish once they were playing, that it was slow to respond to changes, and it often crashed.
