What WoW demonstrate is that requiring online doesn't hamper sales much anymore these days.........

Basically you're going to see as you already do in this thread a tonn of people arguing that requiring online is an issue and will limit sales.

And then you look at Wow sales and you realize most of those arguments are BS.......

Maybe AC2 doesn't need online, but a huge percentage of people have it anyway.....

Are you serious? You can't be serious.

You're comparing the necessity for online in a genre wherein online is reflexively necessary against requiring online for every single game there is.

Suppose this shit doesn't stop at the PC? Suppose it gets carried over to consoles? My 360 doesn't stay hooked up because I don't have an ethernet cable thatl ong and am not willing to spring for one. Should I be excluded from playing Assassin's Creed 3, down the line, because of this?

Trying to justify this isn't just an exercise in the defense of the indefensible, it's intellectually dishonest.

There's an easy thing for you.

Every game that has been on the market for the last 10 years or so has this thing called minimal requirements on the box.

You don't meet them, don't purchase the frigging game, simple, easy....
