Some people play games on a laptop and may not always be connected to the Internet. Some others for one reason or another may rely on dial-up and don't have a separate line for regular phone calls. Also I'm sure those in such situations would agree it's less hassle to disconnect when you're simply posting on a website as opposed to playing a game like this one. Also a person has the ability to work on their posts offline.
As for this game it isn't World of Warcraft or some other game that obviously requires a person to always be online, it's a game that can also be played alone. Although they give the reason of not wanting people to cheat on their stats it has to make one wonder if that's just an excuse for what would otherwise be considered extremely invasive DRM.
