Probably a DRM protection device.

Might be, but quite a few games today have some sort of login thing going on. Most of it is just to collect statistics, information, and to allow the players to keep their own profile with achievements and such in it (kind of like Battlefield 2's system).

Hello,

i would not mind to go online for registering, or activation one time after installing, or to check for updates now and then. Even if that implies that you will not be able to play the game after the company has gone, overtook by someone else or withdraws its website.

But it seems you have to log on everytime you play single.
Just hope it is not true .. Gawd, i'd never thought i'd vote for Starforce, but this ... well we will see.

Greetings,
Catfish
