This is the crux of the issue for me. One can rationalize that such tracking and DRM intrusion isn't a huge deal, or isn't a huge deal compared to playing the game - but if you do so and buy into the system, you've simply created a self-fulfilled prophecy.
This type of intrusive, unwarranted monitoring, wrapped around the assumption that I'm a criminal first and valued customer only when subservient to their inspection; simply disgusts me. Why should I pay money to be treated like a prisoner?
I can understand the excitement about what appears to be a good start for a simulation, but I cannot understand why so many are so willing to give up their privacy to participate in that.
I enjoy playing the SH line of games, up until now, but I'd like the call for "Papieren, Bitte." to remain in the imaginary realm of the simulation and not in the reality of its execution.
