Though that can sometimes be problematic when the game get's patched and your old saves don't work anymore....

anyone notice.. that alot more R&D dollars are being spent on Online games vs non-online games?

its simple. they can scan for hacked / pirated games when they log into the game. yes the online model doesnt fit all gaming genders, but you will see a decline in that style of gaming... (or some really nasty DRM)
