I'm totally against that. You always need to be connectet to the Internet for that, and what about those gamers without internet?
And WTH do you do if you can't go to the net cos you used up all your MB? You know, over here in Yurop there are many places were you can't get a Flatrate.
I won't buy anything that's got Steam in it or needs the internet to work. Ecsept Multiplayer games like Battlefield 2 were the internet is needed to PLAY, not for Copy Protection.
Copy Protection is stupid anyway, What do you do if you want to make a Copy of your game in case the original DVD or CD or Whatever Breaks? In DOS times you just copied it and that was it, you didn't Resell it or anything. Only a Few did it and Were Criminals. But today, in the age of internet it's a bigger problem, cos Pirating is made Easier.
