I'm boycotting always online systems or games. Yannis Mallat is off base with his assessment that we, as gamers, "are ready." We're not ready buddy and never will be! Frankly, I feel it is a violation of our right to privacy. I love my technology but it sure is invasive. Hell, the bloatware most of us tote around on our phones is straight B.S. We need to not sit passively by and let it happen. But what can we do besides vote with our dollars?

Where I live, my internet connection is spotty at best. I have been a gamer since Atari and bought an Xbox the day they came out. "Always on," is invasive and something I cannot condone. The industry is out of touch with the gamers and Microsoft just lost my business. I hope hackers rain all over their parade.

Kevin, thank you as always, for providing such a thoughtful and helpful review. I have consistently come to rely upon the excellence you bring to Gamespot. Bioshock Infinite seems to have a very engaging story line, something I look for, and I will be playing it for sure. Thank you again.
