Command & Conquer 4: Be Always Online to Play

First, the big blue Blizzard announced that Starcraft 2 will have no LAN support whatsoever. This announcement of course prompted loyals fans of the franchise to “politely” ask the developers to reconsider their decision by launching this online petition. Now, EA confirmed that Command & Conquer 4 requires an online connection, all the time, in order to play.

Though the announcement also came with the assurance that it’s really not a big burden, as the game doesn’t require a broadband connection (you can connect via dial-up), it still raises a lot of eyebrows (mine included). I’ve got a DSL connection at home and have no problems w/ this kind of setup, it’s just that these kinds of requirements to play games are slowly starting to become commonplace. Move over DRM.
