Yes, I agree 100%, if I pay money for a product I expect to be able to use it when, where and how I want, without restrictions, I have enough trouble with Itunes proprietary files. If the publisher
requires me to be online I will not buy it, period. They get the unrestricted use of my hard earned income, so I should get the unlimited use of their product. Reeeeaallly hope SoW does not go down this road.

Because that, in my opinion, is the stealthy attempt to introduce pay-to-play even for offline games and I will most certainly not stuff my hard-earned € down some publisher's throat (not to mention that the marketing department would surely like to bombard me with tailor-made spam mails).
If SoW follows this trend then I have to bear the pain and not purchase it for I absolutely refuse to sign away my own rights as customer and PC admin.
