And here we get to the heart of what this is.
DRM systems exist that do not require 24/7 connections to the game producers servers.

It is not about protecting their intellectual rights, but about gathering marketing data.

If that is what it is, then damn well admit it.

At the end of the day I can either accept it or not.
That is my choice as a consumer, and your choice as a producer.
And you are right. The world will continue on without me.

But please, try to credit me with a little bit of intelligence will you.

Do not pretend you are adding value to your product when in fact you are restricting my ability to enjoy it.
