What's the big deal ?
You guys manage to post on this forum every day ( every hour for some) but you won't be able to connect to the net once every 10 days to authenticate the game ?

Heck, these days most games are considered failure without multiplayer and suddenly people are making the argument against games that require a net connection every 10 days ?

I just don't get it.........

Congratulations, you have just played the "over-simplification" card.

 

Want to explain how that's over-simplified?  I use steam.  A few times a week Steam updates when I start it up.  30 seconds of a little connection and then I play my game.  How is this any different?  Once every 10 days you get a little pop-up that verifies your game before you play.  

@Gnizmo that's not how it works.  You don't have to renew it every 10 days, just every 10 days you want to play.  For example, you could not play Mass Effect for a month, and when you connect it will do the same verification it would do if you hadn't played it in 10 days.  It just means that every 10 days and longer since your last activation, when you go to start up the game it will require verification.  Most likely a process that takes less than 30 seconds.
