Is that why Red Alert 3 was so awful, they were all busy scurrying around defecating out C&C 4?

Another moronic decision for always on internet. Guess I wont get this either. Well at least these game companies are saving me money.

always on tracking..

tbh I hate Blizzard and the existence of wow more and more... they are all doing it.. its not that I don't like rpg elements and player progression ... its addictive to a game.. that makes you come back for more... but I think its just getting abused for other sly reasons... and it gets to the point when the gametime you're wasting just to unlock things gets stupid(waste time grinding, goal achieving, repetitive shit etc)..and not everyone needs there STATS tracking ffs.

there is no reason why those things can't be done offline.. if someone wants to cheat and unlock more of there actual fucking game they bought without wasting the time to unlock it.... then they should be fucking able to!... making it always online to prevent cheating is stupid... making it always online to prevent piracy is stupid... checking its a legit game when you're actually intending to play online multiplayer like cdkey checks is better.. personally I fucking hate multiplayer games when you can gain an advantage over other players just by the amount of time you put in! ... playing against other humans should be an even playing field.. I'm not saying CNC4 works like this.. but certain games do like COD4.. so thats why I bring it up.

I guess Starcraft2 requiring Battle.net shit to be loaded and running is probably the exact same thing CNC4 is going for aswel.

I hope they are honest and put it CLEARLY on the box & I wish them more than a handful of sales.
