Nahhh their not the only ones. FSX needs the same online connection or it doesn't run in anything but demo mode.
But it's the hackers and pirates that are to blame for this sort of thing, not software companies. If not for piracy, none of the security measures we see today would be nessicary. I still remember when games had none of this, but then came the theives, and then came disk in drive to play, then starforce and the like anti-priacy software. Then the theives got around that so now it's online verification.
