I agree. I was a huge C&C fan, (bought each game multiple times including the collection packs) but have not even looked at C&C4. I did check how easy it would be to pirate and frankly that's less effort then walking to the shops to buy it. Heck I even looked at it in bargain bins and refuse to touch it based on that DRM. It also locked out my Dad who enjoys C&C from playing as he does not have an always on internet connection nor will he. I am not going to give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt in this, as there is no reason they couldn't allow offline mode. The player confusion thing they cite could be easily fixed with some UI prompts.
