It's their game, let them charge what they want. If you don't agree with their system, don't play or don't partake in their online marketplace.
As for requiring an internet connection to play, too bad so sad. Do you not realize why you'd need an internet connection? To authenticate and remove all the bs characters and cracked copies. If you're too cheap to pay 60 bucks for a game when your computer cost >400 ON THE LOW END, you make me laugh. Its like people who buy BMW's Audi's and Mercedes' but cry when they have to take their car in for service. Buy a Daewoo if you can't afford it or take the bus. |
That worked out really well for WoW.....
A game so riddled with bots and mods and cracked accounts and characters. Why? Because Gold makes Money for people in the real world.
So bad they had to add authenticators for sale to protect your account (Can we say Profit for the apps and keychains). And even then those still get hacked.
They are now adding a Real World Money Marketplace to D3 and you Don't think this is going to be a problem with online only? I would RATHER play this game single Player only if possible Due to these circumstances alone.
This is going to be one bad idea for a game platform.
Please try and be more realistic before you go off on a tangent.
Good metaphor, bad usage, bad research.
