Because that's a game. The games themselves may require online connectivity for usage... even if it's only for a one time confirmation of authenticity. In the case of D3, WoW, etc, ANYONE can purchase a computer that doesn't need to be online to function properly.Here is my question for you then if this was the case, then why is PC games can get awya with making non-offline SP games, such as D3.
In the case of a game, when you purchase a game, you're kind of purchasing an add on to a system. That has different stipulations and those can be different from the system's stipulations.
The only way I can see MS getting around this is to force ALL games to briefly connect to confirm authenticity.
