Oh yes... I'd prefer any StarForce to that new thing they call "sevice". And I'm really glad that neoqb removes the online necessity in the next update.

The Grunch pointed out one issue: Connection problems. Not just WLAN, but also ISP. Some people have no problems, others have lots. Not to mention the still big amount of "pre-DSL" users that still have to pay for every single minute they're online.

After all I don't want to see my personal data (=savegames) being stored on a server somewhere in the net. If I need them elsewhere, I'll take an USB pendrive anyway.

And if I buy something that I might not like... I want to be able to sell it to someone else if I can't give it back which would just be possible as goodwill gesture.

I wouldn't mind some kind of online activation (well, Win has it since XP in 2001), and maybe even something like a weekly check that just needs a connection for a minute.
