"I mean, besides the DRM."

But that's the core issue, really.

No, the core issue is: the game doesn't work. Lets face it, gamers would still be buying the game with DRM if it didn't crash.

If what you mean is: "Crashing (to the point of unplayability) is an inherent consequence of DRM"...the many wildly successful games that have DRM would indicate otherwise

I didn't mean any of that. I meant that DRM is the reason one would implement constant-onlineness into a game that should also (mostly, even) work as a single player game. My apologies if my use of the word 'issue' suggested something different.
