I ignored your first comment because it was plain and simple stupid. It's as stupid as this:
I understand not liking the DRM, but my point is that it's not a surprise. It's not like you bought the game and then found out that it had the DRM or they didn't put it right in plain sight that it required a permanant internet connection. I would be absolutely outraged if I bought this game and later found out that I had to put up with that but since it's something you know before you buy it, I don't see why it's such a big deal.
I don't know, to me, it's just like not having the correct computer or meeting the minimum requirements and isn't a big deal.
Would I be upset if I wanted this game and couldn't meet the internet requirement for whatever reasons? Sure, but no more upset than if I just didn't have the right graphics card.
If you don't like the WoW comparison that's fine, then what if I bought and loved AC for the PC but now I can't run AC2 because it requires a better graphics card than I have? Should I be just as justifiably angry? Both of those things are only requirements that every game has a list of.

There's something bitterly ironic about that statement being in the same post as the (not very funny or clever) picture you posted.
MY point is: nobody is acting like it's a surprise. Nobody is upset because it's a surprise. They're mad because of the stupid DRM itself. Which brings us full circle to my original point: It doesn't matter if you're fairly warned about something ahead of time, if it's bad, it's bad. If you get shot in a war, you don't think "Well, this isn't so bad. I was aware this would probably happen when I signed up.", you think "Fuck! I just got shot! This is fucking terrible!".

But this brings me back to my point-- you're angry about something you don't even have!
If you don't like the DRM, that's cool, then just don't buy (or pirate) the game!

So you can only have opinions about something you own? Then why are posting all this in the DRM's defense? To be fair, while I disagree with the DRM, I've never once whined, complained, or even MENTIONED it to anyone either online in real life, just kept my opinions to myself, until I saw this thread and felt the need to offer my thoughts.
