The world isn't perfect and things do go wrong on occasions, but your connection is still three times faster than mine and i have no troubles.
Much of what you described could happen to anyone i suppose, but the likelihood is rare. Your real problem sounds like your utility company, not the gaming companies.
The internet and computers is like shoes and socks, it doesn't make much sense to have one with out the other. When you mention cracks, and such, its precisely why this sort of thing is being done. I remember when online registration got you a key code for most games, but even that is not good enough anymore with the advent of torrents and such cracks.
Really all i hear is a bunch of nay saying and complaints, which might be justified, but you should recognize you are the minority on this one. Most people who play games just go along with whats required and seldom ever poke their kilobytes into a forum discussion.
I can understand why people are put off by change. I think of it as a sign of the times.
There are many other services offered through an internet connection. Banking, billpay, ebay, etc etc.
