Well, everyone has access to the net these days, so if this measure is effective against piracy for developers/publishers, so be it, imho. Its about a million times better than copy protection software - the SECUROM type, at least for me.

the copy I bought is mine and I can install and re-install it as much as I want, patch or not patch, in short: it's my copy, my game, I play when and where ever I want.
Agreed; this is a pain indeed and it does feel bad.

Not with me, so no more games for me it is.
No more pc games you mean. Just mafia games
