i would grudgingly consider buying a copy protection game cd but i won't even think of buying an online-verification game at all.

thing is; i am not one who really like his PC to be online the whole time & especially for my home PC, i rather it be totally offline (maybe just connected to a LAN) as i like to separate my really personal stuff from an online PC.

what Virgo asked is something i share as well; what do these mean to single-player games? what is the future for it?

i vote for potatoe as i don't like copy protection & i dislike online verification for a bloody offline single-player game. if it does it only once just like winXP or adobe softwares do, then i might even consider online verification.

maybe when it comes to worst case scenario, i might take a risk in buying a copy protection cd then download a hacked version or something to cripple the copy protection.
