Why does Blizzard insist on making me sign onto their servers ... seriously. ? !

I know the individual gamer is of no value to a conglomerate like Blizzard, and if I thought for a second voicing my concerns to them would make any difference in the issues I raise ... I would certainly not waste your time here, I'd be posting to them in a nicely worded letter.
I am almost of the thought to petition Blizzard for the right as an individual consumer, who has little to no interest in the co-op side of the gamer-sphere ... let alone an AH that may use Real Cash™ for digital items ... to give me a crack to allow for off-line play, and I will gladly sign in once a month to remind them I exist and I am still playing their game alah the SCII methodology.
This would solve my issue of having stupidly numbered errors pop up when I should be slaying monsters and reliving a story I can't change my way out of ... etc et al.
*sigh* Whiney and not playing because yet again Blizzard is having issues ...

It's to stop "pirates." And by "pirates," I mean, "people who play used games." *NM*

Scary that in order to curb one practice - they are alienating a whole section ...

Close... it's for control, for a variety of reasons. "piracy" and the used game market are the tip

Fair enough. I guess used-game concerns are more of a console thing. *NM*

You know the prototypical hot coffee case was warranted, right? The plaintiff won.

The difference I see is that Steam has an offline mode that (mostly) works. D3 has none. *NM*

It's still a good thing, the problem is that we're in a period of transition.

I don't think I've ever used an analogy on the internet that people didn't complain about.

Stuff like D3's always-on DRM and phone home schemes in no way contribute to that future.
