Peter Moore has clarified his comments from earlier this week, when he stated “we don't ship a game at EA that is offline.”
In a blog post on EA’s official site, Moore explained that, while he did say the comment that’s been quoted, he’s seen “some misinterpretations as to what that means exactly” and would like to clarify.
“Today, most games are ‘online’ in some way, shape or form,” Moore wrote. “Many games connect in online multiplayer modes; others include online services which allow for periodic content updates, sharing stats or achievements or connecting with friends; and others are games downloaded through digital delivery methods like Origin or the App Store. The reality is, the Internet and social connectivity touches every one of our titles today – and has for several years.”
“What that does NOT mean is that every game we ship will require an online connection,” he continued. “Many, if not most, of our games include single-player, offline modes that you can play entirely without an Internet connection, if you so choose. We know that’s something many of our players want, and we will continue to deliver it.”
Moore also clarified EA’s stance on free-to-play, adding, “NOT ALL of EA’s games will offer a free-to-play mode. We will continue to explore new free-to-play experiences for our franchises when we believe there is gamer interest and a cool new game we can build. But of course we will continue to deliver award-winning core gaming experiences on ALL of these franchises.”
“I hope this helps to clear up a few things, and I look forward to your feedback in the comments below,” Moore concluded.
