So you're saying that having to go online only for patches and new features is as bad as having to go online every 10 days no matter what?
I'm saying it's not much different. I still need a connection from the outset to use the product. Thereafter, I'm still authenticating every time I play multi-player, download a patch, or download new game content.
Initial install aside... multi-player, downloading patches or new content already involve an Internet connection. I'm not sure what the gripe is here if they're authenticating when you're connecting to the Internet to update or play the game anyways.
