7. If an internet connection is required, what amount of traffic (in/out) will there be within one hour?
In multiplayer mode, depending on eventfulness, there will be considerable amount of traffic.
In singleplayer mode (single mission, training, career) - the amount of traffic will be minimal (only statistics and system messages)

I think they're saying it's like steam, you have to be connected to the net to play, but you can play single player.

No, they are saying that you need to connect to internet ALWAYS to play. You can play offline, but after login.
If you suffer a disconnection and the mission ends, you lose the points/statistics that you´ve earned through the mission.
I think that´s a very risky decision for a low profile company. If they ask me, they need 2 "exe" versions (like GTR Evo Simulator), one for play online, and one for offline. You buy both in one of course.

Consoles win another round.

Seems developers/publishers can't get out of their own way fast enough to hand over the reigns of gaming to consoles. Such measures can only sure up sales and allegiences to them.

I WON'T buy RoF in it's current form of distribution and play. Reading responses from forum members indicates I'm in the majority too. How long before all gaming developement will be for consoles?

(I'm aware of the arguement regarding PC strengths over consoles, but developers won't look at it this way. They'll look at the sales figures and think no one wants to play PC sims and abandon PCs entirely. ALL BECAUSE they won't listen to customers.)

I was really looking forward to ROF...now I'm pissed and drinking heavily

In what way is that different to what I said?

I've never used Steam, but I gathered (perhaps wrongly) that is exactly how that is too (or maybe Steam can be used that way, but isn't always?).

That's okay, we all do that sometimes.

I believe that, when I see it.

You can set STEAM to offline mode AFAIK and play activated games offline. Of course you won't get any stats for online-games and stats, then. And it would not be the first time a Russian original interview was misinterpreted.

it's no good if you can't have it off-line... Really sorry ...
