No shit. And it still could if they'd stop being assholes about it and just get rid of the stupid DRM.

"but it conflicted with the vision the developer had for the game." Their vision was to have a broken game that failed to work at all on launch and which a lot of people, such as myself, still refuse to buy thanks to the DRM, huh? Yeah, that's

All indications are that the game sucks even if they were to patch it to get rid of the always-online.

Yeah, I've been hearing the same thing, unfortunately. So, in a way, I guess it's kind of a good thing that they shoehorned this DRM in which kept me from buying it on principle, so that I was able to avoid buying a lemon. Despite the dealbreaker DRM, I wasn't actually expecting the game itself to suck as much as it apparently does, though. :/
