I don't know of any programs that automatically update and do not give you an option to turn auto-updayes off. Look in the options. Also, your computer needs a fair amount of free space to operate properly. IF you don't have room for a patch you need to remove some stuff.

Bad feeling about it in what way? You seem to have internet, no problem there. Do you think it will reduce sales? Games offered in digital form have been outselling retail boxes for a couple years now. People on dial-up have made the choice not to be anywhere near the edge of online technology. Someone who choses to drive a Model-T can't complain that he has no ABS.
There is a small fringe element that seems to think it is a violation in some way if a game uses their internet connection (which they obviously have to come online to complain about it). I have said it before and I will again... IT IS THE ONLY WAY FOR SMALL COMPANIES TO PREVENT THEFT! Without these things companies like neoqb could not stay in business.
Simple really, live with it or have no companies making games like this... not a hard choice.
Quick check of Empire: Total War, a fairly new game on the market. The 11+ GB download had over 1900 people sharing it, 12000 people downloading it. (I am referring to illegal downloads) Do you think a smaller company like neoqb can sustain that? Do you think they should make the game suceptible to this because an online verification bugs you?..........
This game has only been advertised online, if you are talking about it you have a net connection.
