I don't really want a company to track my gaming habits, and I don't want to have to have a connection every time I play (laptop, for example).

Not to mention the possibility of the company discontinuing the service, which may not matter for a shooter or some "play through once" type of game, but it certainly does for a HoMM title. I may end up passing too, at least for the full retail price.

I completely agree. I am not completely agaisnt the idea of protecting your stuff so people don't steal it, but having to worry about losing internet connection, or lag, in a single player game just annoys me. Playing a multiplayer game and having to restart because I lost internet for 25 seconds is a peril I'm used to.

Having it foisted onto the single player experience seems... luddite.
