Well, there goes the neighborhood! shocked Can't argue with that one... grin


Not surprisingly, that's becoming less and less of an option. You get games that don't have a multiplayer mode but require an internet connection to launch, software that will deactivate itself if left offline for more than a few weeks, and THEN there's all the stuff that has user-driven need for connectivity in the first place.

It's only going to run further down the path as the years pass. As it is right now, kids "can't live without the internet".
