The whole problem is explained nicely there my Mr.Biscuit.

Always-on adds no functionality what so ever, it in fact detracts functionality. Why do big names in the industry refuse to understand this?
"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

"uh, I identify as counterstrike and I find this globally offensive" - ???

I always figured they understand it's inconvenient but come up with a stance to try to not seem like ****s. This whole thing seems to be driven by the industry's pirating scare. I must say I understand their frustration with the amount of game pirating but they are going about solving this all the wrong ways...
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

In all honesty big executives in Ubi/EA/whatevs are hurting the gaming industry more than piracy does. Piracy really isn't as bad as it's made out to be. The industry is just using piracy as a scapegoat to mask customer dissatisfaction.
"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T

"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.

I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

That's nothing compared to how he pronounces 'poor'. He says roughly "po-ur". (note: the word pour is pronounced more like poor than the actual spelling)

Homophones... English has so many of them. Dutch barely has any but then again, we dismissed all logic!
