Does this mean you also can't exchange cities? What sort of foolish design decision is that?

sadly, EA is ruining what looks like an otherwise very promising game with DRM and DLC

I don't think they're ruining it. Some people don't care about DRM / DLC with gaming (like myself). I just want the best possible gaming experience.

Yeah, until they shutdown the server shortly after the next Sim City is released, making your old game unless. EA has a habit of doing things like that.

That's a good point, but by then I probably won't still be playing the game.

The last two sentences you wrote are incompatible.

I usually play Sim City by finding the unlimited money cheat and getting a large amount of money before I start. I can then build whatever I want. I enjoy the city design part of the game, not the economic part.

I doubt that this way of playing will be possible in the new Sim City.
