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.

+1. I really am looking forward to SoW, but will not buy it if it has DRM that requires I be online to play. I don't expect it will, but chimed in just to be sure my smallish vote is heard.

Well I will buy it, DRM or not. Oleg deserves sales for this incredible work, independently from my opinion about DRM. I will support him anyway.

Well, I only play online - I mean, I couldn't care less.

Eventhough I don't like this kind of DRM
