pretty much everything nowadays is online... just look at steam, games like half-life etc which are single player only, yet you have to be online to authorize that you own the game and can play, once you have done that once though you can play the game offline, but still.. if you had a pc that wasn't connected to the net, it would be annoying to have to connect it to the net at least once, just to play an offline game, but i suppose in this day and age most computers are connected to the net..
