how do you define: use it the way you want to?

I want to use a game by just installing it and then playing it, no strings attached, I just want the game, nothing else, I do not want to be constantly online, I don't want any root kits and other malware installed.
I mean, games are just becoming more and more restricted, and some users are just cheering it on, I don't get that.

Blaming the pirates is just buying into the rhetoric of the market, oh yeah... there's pirates, so now all non-pirates have to be punished?
That's just the same that goes on in the world, politicians use the terrorist-excuse to dismantle our civil liberties and bit by bit introduce the police state, "it's for your protection...".
