i don't care about their auction cash houses, but I truly believe that to be connected to bnet all the time to play a SOLO game is retarded

Solo play in Diablo 2 allowed the game to be pirated to no end, same as with WC3/SC/etc. Are you really surprised that they want to protect their profits (online play = more $$ from ads and it also means you have to have a legitimate copy). Personally, I don't see the big deal assuming you are buying the game. How often are you not connected to the internet? I very rarely am. If you are truly concerned with playing solo then just password lock all of your games.

Big surprise here, game companies are out to make money. Don't demonize them for it.
