Haha! As if steam's offline function would NOT give people trouble...
My HL2 never worked in offline mode EVER. I beat it three times and I always had to connect first or else it wouldn't start. Sometimes I couldn't even open steam offline, let alone play the game...
They shouldn't be doing that kind of nonsense. You bought the game alright, so they should just let you play it, that's what I say.
I got used to steam over time and though I never ordered anything on steam, as I always buy my games from amazon or the amazon market place, I see it as a convenient tool for users who want to do that and for developers who can use the steam-platform to distibute their stuff. We've had some great revivals of older classics when they came out on steam.
So I can make an exception for steam (I wouldn't have made it were HL2 not as brilliant back in the days and if RO wasn't steam-only) but I don't really want to make that exception a rule!
Anyway, that quote sounds as though it wasn't the developers' or the "supporters'" decision to employ that mechanism though, and that they would hope that lots of people complain about it so they don't have to implement it in further games.Maybe, just maybe, Spore won't have it.
