Never mind inconvenience, possible unreliability, the right to shut down service within 30 days and other anti-customer measures, etc . . .

The idea of having to connect to a server 5,000 miles away in order to reach something stored in one's computer is beyond ridiculous.

As long as you are always connected whilst playing; yes.
