I haven't bought any games in a while because I have only really played Lord of the Rings Online for the past 4 years.
Lately I've started looking at other games, and the first 2 I have bought are Civilization 5 and FIFA 12.
Now these are games I mainly intended to play single player, without needing to use the internet. Thats what I thought.
Both make it compulsory to download some cloud software (Origin, Steam), update this software continuously even though it has nothing to do with your game, create an online account that gives them info that again is not needed to play the damn game.
Is this the norm now? Is every single game I play going to have a bloody social network attached to it. At least it could be optional when the game itself is perfectly playable standalone.
