So I'm basing this on assumptions but I'm betting they're valid assumptions so that's alright.
I'm assuming on the box it says permanent internet connection required and I know on the Steam page it says that so why are people so upset about this?
If it says it right on the box it isn't like you're being duped and if you're buying a PC game there's no excuse for not reading the system requirements so why are people so upset over this?
Is it just because the consoles don't have to have a permanent internet connection? To that, I say meh?
Yeah, losing 10-15 minutes of progress can be annoying but since the game has frequent checkpoints that shouldn't be the biggest problem. I don't know, to me, this just seems like getting angry over WoW requiring a permanent internet connection or buying a PC game and then realizing that you don't meet the minimum requirements.
-edit-
Note-- I'm not trying to argue for the DRM, I don't actually care, I just don't understand why everyone is so angry about it when they're upfront about it. If they were trying to hide it or be deceptive about it I would understand the nerd rage, but they say in pretty plain English permanent internet connection required.
I would even understand if this news came about a week before the game released, but it came out well before a month before release. Did this news come out with the system requirements?
