I can see your point. I dislike the compulsary registration as much as you do.

However, there is a way of reagarding from the other side. I've some experience as a sales rep for software companies, so I can see what's going on.

As a consumer, you do NOT own the game. You merely buy the right to play the game. The owner of the game simply wants you to prove that you indeed paid the user fee.
