I'm fine just as long as it separate profiles and not mix up the bloody save files all in one directory.

I hope this isn't another way of stopping updates or retrieving any if needing to reinstall after a certain time.

I really dont see a problem here. Sure it will pump their numbers, but really, why do i care. As long is the game is good i could care less how many profiles i have to have. And down the road when someone decides to pull the plug on the server, it will be far easier to determine how many players will be pissed at you.

Ok, most ppl have internet these days, but its still a tad retarded to make ppl sign up to a site to play a game.

What the marketing slimeballs do not say is that the main reason for this new strategy is to increase the amount of Live accounts for MS bragging rights. There has been a pissing contest of late between Sony & MS over how many registered users they both claim to have. Sony I think is at like 20 mill and MS is at around 17 mil I think thats right....... Any they both now require users to create accounts for many of their services. (artificially blowing up their registered user base) like posting on forums, using messenger services and now apparently playing PC games.

Watch these marketing guys they could sugarcoat a bag of dung and sell it to you.

This sounds fine to me.
As long as this doesn't evolve into a grand milking scheme in other titles like xbox live mandatory payment for online gaming, I'm happy with it.

Yes it bothers me, being forced to be registered in some corporation's list to play a game I paid for. I don't care for achievements and such, I have both consoles for more gamey games, and saying that downloadable content is somehow suddennly easier -ON A PC- only with Live and similar nonsense is just laughable.

No, it does not bother me.

Isn't this basically the same thing as Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network?
