Update: According to this tweet by Adrian Chmielarz, Creative Director at People Can Fly, the requirement listed below is incorrect. Perhaps a goof up by EA? Read the original story below.
Original story: Probably not. Destructoid reports that Bulletstorm on PC is pulling an Ubisoft DumbRM and requiring a persistent internet connection for the game.
Indeed, visiting the linked page (a description of EULAs for upcoming EA games in various SKUs) shows the same information.
It is important to note that it is only listed on "Digital" copies of the game and that retail packaging doesn't show that text at all. At any rate, we've reached out to Epic to try to validate this.
Fucking Internets... No, Bulletstorm PC does not require any constant connection, only for install and for online play (duh!).
Original story: Probably not. Destructoid reports that Bulletstorm on PC is pulling an Ubisoft DumbRM and requiring a persistent internet connection for the game.
It seems Electronic Arts is going to "pull an Ubisoft" while "protecting" People Can Fly's ludicrous shooter from common thieves. The news comes from EA's own product disclosure page, where it states, "PERSISTENT INTERNET CONNECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT REQUIRED TO PLAY."
