this is the 21st century....if your using a machine without internet access you really should rethink your setup....i have to agree regarding this whole copyright protection arguement its old and out of date....the FACTS are that studios are turning away from the pc platform because of the constant problem of piracy...suck it up people if you want quality games for your pc in the future its got to have some sort of DRM...you can't have your cake and eat it anymore.

I do not have a television either. Nor do I own a GPS or a blackberry/iphone or a laptop. No internet at home of any type. No cable TV. No landline phone either just a 6 year old cell I occasionally turn on.

I do live in the colonies of course.

Meanwhile at work I am a system/network administrator for a research company with over 100 staff. Can't avoid the tech there, just try not to take it home.

Really depends if you are aiming for the "online furball air-halo crowd" (who obviously must be online) or the more traditional historically oriented player base I suppose. Seems to me a lot of people interested in historical aviation and WWII simulations are actually a bit anti-hitech.

Bless Oleg for knowing how hard (or impossible) it is to get internet connections in many parts of the world. In the majority of my country you can only get dial-up and there are many areas where no service is available. There are also a lot of people who can't afford a high-speed connection (even if they can afford the game and a joystick).
