Now this time is either gonna be an internal timer, or the game is gonna check in with EA servers to check on the time already spent. Essentially if you dont connect to live, how else would the game know if it cant check in with the server to record the time? I am going to play mine offline to see what happens.

Xbox live is a tricky lil booger. They say there's no check ins but a lot of times you can't get into games without any sort of bandwidth.

Yesterday I could not get into Diablo when Xfinity went down.

@Instant I would assume that the console would need to be connected to the internet to even play it through EA access though right?

Isn't that because Diablo itself required a connection to Battle.net on loading?

For PC? I thought it was taken out for console pay.

But then again, I did link my gamertag with battlenet, so you may have a point.

If I download with smart glass and it finishes while I'm at work it won start the 6 hours on its own will it?

For those unable to get it to work did you also pre purchase? I think prepurchasing before the trial downloads screws it up. I think you are suppose to either prepurchase then download the trial, or download it completely and then prepuechase. I could be wrong. Deleting the trial and launching the download through the bundle pin might fix it.

I'm thinking about getting a second EA Access for my kid. Wouldn't that be 6 hrs. for them and 6 for me?
