Why don't they stop lying and say what they mean - the only reason is to stop piracy.

I'll just throw this out there.
With this level of control over your gaming experience, you guys might as well migrate to consoles completely, it's essentially the same thing.
I'm sorry I didn't know they were the guys I had to ask if I wanted to have "fun" with a game. Plenty of people has stated why we would rather have it online rather than off. Instead of foaming at the mouth you could read what people say or you could actually take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Blizzard would rather fuck over a small minority (people with no internet) and piss off people like you who post a thousand times a day yet bitch about wanting free time to play offline.
Yes Fail, Blizzard knows who you are and they hate you.
I see nowhere in your post where you stated WHY always on DRM is a good thing.
I see nowhere in your post where you stated WHY always on DRM is a good thing. Sounds like you'd rather be placed in shackles rather than enjoy freedom of choice to play a game.
"Ok, internet is out, I wanna play Diablo 3. Oh wait, I can't" Your version
"Ok, internet is out, I can play Diablo 3 since it doesn't have always on DRM" My version.
Read any of my posts in these threads...... In fact go read the entire thread over again. It's almost like you ignore anyone who ever bring up legit reasons and rely on name calling and sexual remarks to get your childish opinion across.
The problem is there are no legit reasons to have always on DRM for a single player game.
I'm sorry, but that's just how it is.
lol ok Fail if you say so.
I used to put much stock in what ID had to say, but since they haven't had a good game come out in like 10 years, I really don't care these days

I guess these PC games are going to come with a free 3G USB stick for our laptops then. You can't always be connected just because you want to!
Doom 3 was a good game? Maybe in real time shadows, but not much else.
Tue enough, it was more like Q3 was their last good game. Even then, one could argue that the mods and the community for Q3 were as much of what made it great as id was. But that was back in late 1999. Since then, they have not really done much of anything on the PC. Even if you count Doom 3, we are still talking 2004 since they have released a damn thing.
I understand nostalgia does funny things to people's perception of reality, but id has not really been any sort of driving force in the industry for a decade or more. Yes, Carmack is a genius, but what has he, or id, done for PC gaming lately?
The id and Carmack lovers will be angry with me now. They will have to let go of his penis, and pull their heads out of his ass to type a retort.
Clearly you are well qualified to make such claims. Clearly you know the comprehensive influence id has on the gaming market. How can anyone compete when you know everything?
I guess that's why I don't see a lot of problems with this type of DRM because I've had mobile broadband for 5 years now, I'm pretty much always connected but I guess that isn't most people. Hell my Verizon 4G LTE modem in certain spots is faster than my Timer Warner Turbo cable modem but unfortunately it's pretty expensive. If it were uncapped I'd seriously think of giving up my cable modem.
This is such flawed logic. Would you be ok if games started charging extra to run at a certain video res, just because it didn't affect you?
Its the principle of the thing. Its wrong. This 'it doesn't affect me so I don' care' reasoning is why so many draconian laws got passed and why companies get away with so much shit.

It's easier to be apathetic than it is outspoken and proactive.
It's easier to allow yourself to be raped than prevent it.
It's easier to conform rather than go against the grain.
It's easier to succumb to the darkness rather than go towards the light.

I've been without internet for a while, with moving and all that nonsense. Been enjoying Divine Divinity in the mean time. .
Let's start by saying that it's user-error that you paid $50-$60 and continue to say that you will be subjected to advertising no matter what. The difference will be global or national brands vs more localized and perhaps interest specific ads.
Now that you have calmed down a little and read over what you wrote it probably doesn't even makes sense to you anymore.
I, as consumer, want companies to provide me with goods and services that I want. I don't want companies to have to guess what I want. Ideally I want to be able to say "here is what I want" and they will give me just that. If it takes an always-on connection and non-personal data collection to help them develop products which are closer to what I want then I am OK with that. Why wouldn't I be.
Nope, I meant exactly what I wrote and illustrated with the example I gave, it's just that you didn't bother to read it or were unable to comprehend it.
i'm always online when i play steam games.. as long as no funny business is being installed on my computer, then i wont worry

Anyone ever have their internet connection go out and all you've got to do in order to pass the time until the repairman gets there is play games. How can you do that if everything goes to an always connected model?
That's a bunch of crap.
People listen to what he has to say because hes been in the industry for 20 years and knows WTF he is doing. id essentially invented the first person shooter.
