As for requiring an online connection, the fact that you blast it pretty much tells me you're a troll or an idiot. That's got to be the most shallow excuse to belittle something I've ever heard. It's disgusting how small minded so many people are that they can't get over this. Almost every game I've played in the last 10+ years either requires a constant connection, or has an online/offline mode option where online is the only version I'd ever consider playing. Whether it's strictly for DRM purposes or because it enables the game creator to offer more features doesn't even matter. My computer is on the internet. Where's the issue? On a personal note, I'd much rather have a connection and benefit from the enhanced gameplay experience, progression backup, and cheat protection; offline mode offers absolutely no advantages except the temptation to ruin my own enjoyment.
