Neal,
With all respect, that is absolutely NOT true. There are many people out there with high end systems who do not "live in double-wides", whom are not connected to the Internet when they play games. I travel a lot for business teaching seminars for a living. Most of the opportunity I get to play SH3 is when I am traveling with my laptop on the road and saying in hotels. Depending on where I am and how long I'm there, I often do not have an internet connection.
I have been giving UBI the benefit of the doubt on everything so far...taking a wait and see attitude. But any authentication system that requires an active Internet connection is a deal breaker for me. If they implement such a system, they lost my sale. I'll stick with SH3/SH4 until someone comes out with a crack or a work around. Then I'll buy it.
