[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1148053, member: 56232"] They had this with a game called Anno 2070. You could upgrade something called your "ark" which gave all sorts of bonuses in the single player game and could be retained between games. This and DLC were linked to being online. Not online? You lose your ark. The game servers were then taken down so people completely lost their arks and DLC. They since migrated the servers due to backlash but still haven't made either unlocked offline. Considering the game is 12 years old now and not exactly a money spinner, nor is online paid for, there is really no reason for this and it's just a stupid anti-piracy measure that serves no purpose any more. At any time they could just switch off the servers again and that's all gone. Hell they haven't even implemented this in their newer games as far as I'm aware, which makes it doubly ridiculous it's still in place. [/QUOTE]
