Its about something completely different...being online 100% of the time being MANDATORY even when playing in single player mode...
It is to all intents and purposes eliminating Offline play (even single player mode requires you to be online)
I don't play online...not now, not ever nor will i do so, nor will i purchase an online only game...
Its a shame i liked the look of RoF and given by the huge pile of IL2 stuff i've bought over the years...campaigns, Dynamic Campaigns, add ons compilations etc etc...you would have thought i'd be the target market for them (You know...plays flight sims alot, spends his money frequently, has no issues buying downloaded content, has a reliable and fast broadband connection) so if their business model puts me off...what chance does it stand with the wider public?
I resent it being portrayed as a copy protection issue...i'm fine with (even relatively intrusive) copy protection...I just don't want to play online...
Why are you bothering to whine about it over and over again, seems like you want them to fail badly pointing out that their gonna lose sales and how it will go for them when their bankrupt wtf... you're not contributing

Apparently their willing to take the chance and i hope they succeed because the quality of the game looks stunning, and we've all been waiting for a decent ww1 sim for several years.

Internet and requirement of online connection ain't unusual in todays society so i doubt they'll lose any significant sales, sure some but i doubt the majority. I mean there's online only games all around us such as Battlefield series(yes they've sp mode but is a totally 100% focused MP game), mmorpgs etc etc
