Regarding our little argument, here is one further retort: Clearly, games bought on steam expect that you have an internet connection, and a good one at that. There's no such reasonable expectation for an offline game which you bought in a retail store. You say my scenarios are ridiculous. Is it ridiculous that I sometimes go for vacation in the country side where I have no Internet connection? It's only ridiculous because it doesn't fit your own personal view of where your gaming PC is... Mass Effect is not a MMORPG. It's not even an online-enabled game. It's simply a game on which they put an arbitrary and artificial requirement of online capabilities. |
If you go on vacation drop by a Starbucks or one of the other half a dozen businesses that offer completely free internet access to renew your game. Or better yet, stop complaining about the portability of a PC game and buy a Nintendo DS. As your situation of someone who happens to want to play their game on a laptop on vacation in a no-internet area is most likely far more uncommon than mine of a power outage.
