Thats ok then, the game did have online modes, but i have NO interest in them, I doubt anyone still even plays it online, Just wanted to experience the Story in single player.
I do not need to exclude it as game functions fine for me so i will leave MB to block the site, was just worried it was dodgy, but as you said some games do that, it was purchased from GOG so i would assume was all fine anyway.
I actually redownloaded and reinstalled and same thing occurs so was hoping it was normal behaviour.
Even restored my C drive from a recent image backup i have, but think that was overkill as i do want to play the game.
Thanks for putting my mind at rest.
