Grand Theft Auto IV is anther one... to play properly you must have a rockstar account & a MS games for windows account. To play the same game you started.. you must be logged into GRW at the very least.
You can play offline once activated... but it starts a 'new' game for you and won't let you continue the one you may have spent hours working your way through.
Another game where the DRM wasn't advertised and another game I got caught out by and felt cheated.
Needless to say it got put up on a shelf and hasn't been touched more than once or twice in the last 12 months.
Been caught out to many times in the past... so I now have a zero tolerance policy on games with restrictive DRM... If they want my money, let me play my property how I want to. Same goes for the music and film industries... Piracy is a problem they helped to create and their refusal to take sensible precautions that do not punish the legitimate consumers is only making it worse.
