Sure, and I run virtualbox because the two apps I like in Windoze don't run in crossover plugins.

That's just the game, she's supposed to ask you that just like the counter person at McDonald's is supposed to ask you if you want fries with whatever you're getting, even if it's an iced coffee. A man once said "The game is the game...indeed"
All internet connection arguments aside, let's not lose sight of two simple facts: - The only people who can play the game right now are pirates. - The only people who are blocked from playing the game right now are those who legally purchaced the game.
