It’s a shame, but people are asking for it when they buy, and therefore support, these kind of games. If people simply refused to buy always-online games, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Well, there’s the other route. If they are forced legally to comply, which is what Ross is trying to get done, and is the far better option alongside being more expensive and difficult, because a company’s reaction to finances can be reversed as soon as it doesn’t matter or the public forgets.

Literally victim blaming. Classy.
Blaming the player goes a bit far, true.
That said, the sad truth is that companies only react when it affects their bottom line.

It is general knowledge that these companies do this. FSF has campaigned a lot against DRM, under the name Defective by Design.
When someone makes a contract with the devil and complains when it affects them, pointing it out is not victim blaming.
