Wanted to buy this game for the Mac, as it has I really liked what I saw on Junior's PS3. Now I read the reviews of the Windows version (highly recommended). The necessary, persistent connection to the Internet is an element of uncertainty, which deprives playing pleasure. Besides being absolutely incomprehensible, since it also works on the PS3 without this harassment. I am absolutely ready to take security measures against piracy in purchasing. But not if you thus always have to expect that the game may crash at any time without fault of their own. Not even if a play, impossible without persistent web connection, which just now not even 100% is guaranteed for WiFi or outside can even mean additional costs.
Too bad, then just do not. And there are still other games manufacturers.
