[FAUXPAS] Game pauses, when Internet Connection is lost! - Page 3

I had to make this poor fact into a thread.

That means with other words, the same **** as with steam-games like COH, etc (in COH you can interrupt the connection, after starting the game).

These Games are not really mod-or playable. Think of all the people, who just have dial in, or pay-per-time connections. Everytime, you want to test a mod, you have to go online! No playing in the countryside, when visiting grandma and grandpa or at longer journeys in the train. No playing for all the people, who have no permanent Internet Connection.

AND

In case of server laggs, or breakdowns: PAUSED

Nice invention. Really nice invention, UBI. The helplessness of stopping dramatically decreasing income, will not be changed by these measures. Far from it!

UBI not seems to recognize, most of the people are bored of the decreasing quality of games, they produce. Beside the fact of extremly grotty support. The strategy of making fast money is the killer of their revenue. Not the software piracy. Remeber "ANNO"? The game crashed often and remained unplayable for month, due to a missing patch! Unbelievable.

They lost many honest customers through this kind of business strategy. And they even will lost more.
