Isnt it better to just roll with the changes than to try to fight it, its always a losing battle when it comes to this stuff.
It sounds like you're having a hard time stepping out of your own shoes... "I don't know a single broadband-less person personally therefore they don't exist!"

Only something like ~63% of Americans have broadband... That doesn't sound like "everyone" to me.

As for rolling with the changes, it's hard for some to do that when they live in an area without access to a constant internet connection. Are you saying that they should sell their house and move? That's beyond drastic... It's easy to get mad about a type of DRM that, in the name of stopping piracy, completely denies you the ability to play a game that you've been excited about--especially if that DRM doesn't really offer anything positive otherwise...
