Aren't you going a bit too far with your personal remarks here?
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. |
I don't know what country you live in, but here I haven't had power outages for years, yet I often want to play games in places at which I have no internet connection. I must be really crazy or weird, mustn't I?
My argument is very simple - I won't buy a game which they slapped an arbitrary and artificial restriction on, both for a matter of principle and for a matter of wanting to play the game wherever I want to. Go ahead and buy the game, you're free to do so and I understand your reasons. At the same time, I expect you to respect my reasons. |
I don't understand your reasons. Do you even have a laptop capable of playing this? Are you complaining on principle of companies trying to protect their games from piracy (even if it's not the best service ever)?
