I understand the sentiment, but how many new releases can you really play without any internet connection? You often need to download a day 1 patch or contact the game servers to be able to play, even for single player games.

It's annoying for the customer, but it's not a new development.

It's totally unacceptable to me too. I would only buy if it is on physical disk or is available as a full DRM-free offline installer.
