It's inconvenient for those who don't normally have an internet connection, but it's not as bad as requiring it to phone home every few days; that would make the game pretty much impossible to play without a regular internet connection.
The funny thing is that people without an internet connection cannot pirate because they have no access...so these people are mostly legally paying customers....by making an online only game SEGA alienates the very people that were buying their games regularly...
