if this was on steam it would be ok

how many games on steam require an always online internet connection?

Technically all of them. But Steam has an offline option where you can play the game without connecting to your account.

That's not always online, because you just activate it and then can turn it off forever. Few does this though, however PC gamers criticize SecuRom when it's essentially like steam.

I didn't know that Steam rootkits your Windows installation.

and also gimps your disc drive so that even if your burning legitamite cds your drive overworks and burns out.

Granted, less a problem in the MP3 player era... still shitty.
