You can play Skyrim offline btw.
Yes, STEAM = DRM; don't like it? Then everytime you meet a "pirater" make sure you put them down and point them out to the community, they did this.
*boggle*
Your are not playing skyrim through a server. It is running from your Local computer. Once it is installed you can play it totally offline with no connection to the internet at all. So how can they spy on you, how are they taking away your choice and how are they taking away your rights????
Yes you need a steam account to purchase/download/register it, from then on you can completely forget the internet even exisits.I happen to play it on my laptop completely offline all the time.
As for your rights on the game. Have you even read the terms and conditions? You do not actually buy and own the game, you buy the right to play the game, the property still belongs to Bethesda....So your argument falls flat on its face right there. (in fact most games have been like this all along, the arguement in the past, was about making copies of the pysical media that contained data that you techincally did not own, due to copyright).
Quite frankly your jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon without any actual knowledge, go and do some research before making claims that have absolutley no basis whatsoever..... its people like you who give the genuine people trying to fight for our rights a bad name, you're actually damaging the cause not helping.
As others have pointed out Skyrim does not actually need to always be online in order to play. Yes, it did require a once and done activation when you first installed it but from then on out you can put Steam in offline mode and play as much of the game as you want. This is not Diablo 3 or Sim City 5 where a persistent internet connection is needed to even start the game.
Also, I assume by "NAS" you meant "NSA"?
Give me a break, do you really think you're that important that a government agency wants up to date information on your Skyrim character?
Was actually reported in the online gaming news that the big boss man of the NSA (or some other spy group) said mmo's are ripe for collecting data.
Though the OP is a total idiot, what he state's about the NSA isnt as far fetched as one might think.

Yes I used to pirate when I was younger and the OP reminds me of the ridiculous arguments I made as a pirate. I knew they were ridiculous, but what I really wanted was to make pirating easier for myself. There is no justification for pirating, the developers and so forth deserve to be paid for their hard work. If the game is not good enough, then you don't have to buy it, but that also means you have no right to play it.
Fortunately, Skyrim is not an MMO, and it can be played offline. Otherwise, about the only thing you'd learn from spying on Skyrim players is that basically harmless people will get out their psychopathic mercenary/vigilante asocialism and general frustration out in private-play video games, where no harm is done.
Witness how sociopathic some MMO players can be, who think the entire point of a PvP server is for a capped, geared player to go out of his way to ruin some lowbie's day.
Anyway, I've been around computers long enough - had a little for-fun public BBS back in the day - to know that someone's always watching, somewhere, or at the very least, has sysop access to "private" mails and messages.
Point remains though that even if Skyrim required a persistent internet connection it's still singleplayer only - thus there's no way to interact or pass on information between multiple parties in-game. So if someone was spying on you the only thing they'd get whether or not you joined the Companions or if you opted to become a vampire (i.e. useless information).
Wrong. That's like saying there isn't any justification in trying out your friend's new game to see if you want to buy it as well. If I had never played a pirated game then I would never have owned a fraction of the games I do.
