This will only ever change if actions like these affect the sales of future titles. But like many things most people just don't care.
It's kind of shocking this happening with a 10 year old game.
This whole online required for a single player game (because piracy) is really ridiculous. So many dumb things are done with DRM and the like because of "piracy". Remember DVD regions? The unskippable FBI warning? DVD "encryption"?
After 5-10 years games should just go DRM and server free. Not sure how we can enforce that without materially affecting sales however.
