Many others have gaming computers they keep separate from the internet just to decrease the risk of contamination. Others still have mentioned playing SH3 and SH4 on planes and buses while they travel, or owning cabins or hidaways where there is no internet.
Basically it's the principle of the thing. I'm not protesting to UBI, and I'm not trying to hurt UBI. I just won't be dictated to about playing what is essentially an offline game but being forced to be online while I play it. If they never free up the DRM I'm going to be the loser, but in the end the bottom line for me is that it's wrong and I won't support it. It's that simple.

Not to mention there are still PLENTY of places in the USA that STILL do not have broadband internet access.
I lived in one place that DID have broadband, but it was so crappy (the ISP overloaded a 200 home/unit node with over 800 units/homes) I couldnt even get the cable modem to sync between the times of 3pm - 3am. And this went on for 2 years.
