Well, here's a question. So it being online, how much data does it use? Also if you disconnect, do you get kicked out? Mobile isn't like wifi at home. Good reception isn't available everywhere and not every carrier/country has great internet. Also datacaps... In Canada specially where data is expensive paying $60 per month for 1gb of data and that is if you bring your own device. With contract, its a lot more.

I don't personally like when measures like this are kept in place. Piracy is a concern but that is a concern that will never go away and things like this will punish the legit users as well if implemented poorly. We have had countless companies continue to beat the drum of piracy on PC but we have seen many games such as the witcher 3 be successful without drm or games be successful with minimal amount of drm that doesn't require you to be online all the time.

So I am not going to judge this right now until I see all the details but I am not a fan of measures like this.

I've seen somewhere that it will use 75MB per hour. It's not that much but I don't think that it is a good idea for mobile games to require internet connection.
