must always be online? .. huh?

Any MMO. Of course nobody blinks twice about that.

Technically Steam doesn't work 100% of the time when you don't have an active internet connection, but that hasn't stopped them from keeping PC gaming alive in many respects.

Of course it's a stupid idea that those who really don't want to pay to play will find ways to circumvent, but seriously; the backlash that happens every time some publisher tries to come up with a new (not so) clever way of protecting their IPs is almost always an overreaction.

You seriously can't think of the difference between an MMO and Assassin's Creed 2?! MMOGs MUST always be online, or else it defeats the purpose of the technology itself.

Steam always allows you to play the game 100% of the time offline, unless the game or it's additional DRM doesn't allow it. Steam works amazing offline, and is the prime choice for gaming on laptops, which often are used during traveling.
