I'm ready for this!

I bet you are, like millions of gamers that will not support a always online consoles or games.

[Perjoss]

I'm always online, seriously this makes no difference to me at all. I pay for all my games, I'm not afraid of always online. In fact if it helps the gaming industry boost it profits by fighting piracy, 2nd hand games sales and stop people from lending games, then I'm all for it.

But that's just me, I'm not saying everyone else is wrong for not liking it, everyone has their reasons I suppose.

There is always a way around stuff anyway if it really bothers you (unless the online is heavily integrated into the game itself). Buy a copy of the game and leave it in the shrink wrap, play the inevitable hacked version that does not force you to use DRM or any other service that you don't like. Talking about PC gaming obviously.

That's what I'm talking about.
There's enough people like you,and all the whining about used games rumors need to stop.
I am against it, but I'm a dinosaur living in the past and we are in minority.

I was very excited for this but, they added a store so this will be another The Sims where there is very expensive DLC every 15 days...
