As far as DRM goes, I've seen worse. And it really isn't unreasonable for the indusry to assume there will be a constant internet connection, this is the 21st century, we live in the internet age.
What is it, something like 60% of homes in the US have an internet connection, and something like 90% have access to broadband in one form or another(not saying they have it, just that they have access to it if they wanted it)... The chances are pretty high that if you are a computer gamer, and interested in this game, you'll have an internet connect. Yes, there will be a small few that don't, but saddly they will be left out for the greater "good".
And I am often surprised at how many people will say "don't they realize DRM doesn't stop piracy". Don't you realize that DRM is not meant to stop piracy? It is meant to slow it down, specifically in the casual pirate area. But the casual pirates are getting less casual by the day, or maybe piracy is becoming more casual... In most cases DRM on a game is only designed to hinder casual piracy for the first two weeks of sales, when sales are the strongest.
Nicely written newtekie1. I bought my copy of MA2 today as a matter of fact. Less hassles and more support from publishers this way...
