The important bit:

"Every time you lose your Internet connection the game boots you to the main menu, and all progress made from the last save point is thrown out the window. This isn’t an MMO, mind you, but a plain ol’ single player game."

It's like big-budget PC publishers are begging me to not buy their games.

I agree. And I don't believe that this whole be online to play tactic is hard to hack. It will only add another obstacle for the crackers to overcome, but cause real pain to customers who actually buy their game.

My home PC is on the internet over wi-fi. It goes down sometimes. If a game decided to go abort when this happened, even though nothing was actually wrong. I'd be angry. I'd call the game defective.
