I'm not buying SH5 or Bioshock 2 (or any other game set up this way or close to it). I hope everyone else follows suit. I hope the companies pay attention too because this is the first time I have ever not bought a game that I know I would enjoy playing. That in itself says a corner has been turned.

You have to set up a Live account. But the account can be set up as an offline account so you can play it offline. It's works just the same on Xbox 360. That's a MAJOR difference compared to OSP.
