Second, while I can't speak for everyone, I can say that the number of times I game on a PC per week that isn't actively connected to the net is about... let me count on my fingers here, might need both hands. Wait, nope: zero times.

Seriously, who actually disconnects from the net before gaming? When you're at work and supposed to be I don't know, working?!

Good thing everyone gets free Internet, right?  Oh wait.  25% of AMERICANS don't have Internet access at all.  Imagine what it's like in a poorer country where it's also very likely that you pay for how long you are connected or how much data you transfer.  Yeah, that's right, for some people it's going to cost additional money just to play this game because that's the only sort of service even available to them.

Seriously, people from 1st world countries are painfull ignorant of how the world actually works.  Hell, in many/most 1st world countries people still pay for specific bandwith usage.  You think that's a justifiable additional cost to play a game you've already bought and paid for?  I don't.

Yeah, right...  It's available in most public libraries for free. There might be 25% that don't have it in their homes, but to suggest that anywhere near that many don't have access at all is crazy talk.  There might be that many that don't want it...

Now, let's just say you were talking home access...  maybe that is 25%...  but of that 25% how many have a PC that meets the requirements to play AC2???  Maybe 5% of that 25%?  and how many of that 5% would even want to play AC2?  Maybe 1% of that 5% of that 25%?  So we are down to 0.0125% that it's a problem for.
