Alright, I thought about it. I could post a rant that would make small children cry, but this is what it comes down to:

I am a gamer. As a gamer, I am presented with 3 options:

1. Give up on new games with these DRM measures. At this point in time, it seems likely that would include at least Assassin's Creed 2, SC Conviction and Silent Hunter 5.
2. Give in.
3. Piracy

Piracy is not an option. If anything, it would just make the measures more strict. I'm quietly hoping the system will be revised.

And I'm not going to give up on gaming either.

Leaves just 1 choice. Guess I'm luckily to have a stable connection 24/7.



I feel... depressed. Sick to my stomach. Like I sold my soul.

With all due respect Neal, we've reached that point. As soon as an internet connection becomes a requirement for play, not just activation, people with no or an unstable connection can not play it.

I hope you will consider your own words and give your stance a reevaluation. I'm not saying you should agree with me/us, all I ask is you give it a little more thought. I won't hold it against you or fight you on it if you stand by your statement.
