Okay who has not downloaded a cracked copy of Black Shark?
Mods - Just kidding
Seriously copy protection is not a major issue. Could not care which one is used. The always on Internet is however.
Ubisoft and EA games all burnt their fingers with always on Internet drms. Look at Command and Conquer 4. A few months after release it is for sale as a cheap classic title?
Always on Internet DRM has bombed.
But with Blizzard following the same example with Starcraft 2 one has to wonder. The game (Starcraft 2) was more expensive at release than any other game. Obviously designed to catch the young suckers that will accept the drm and then it will be sold cheaper later with drm removed for the ordinary folk. They sold a million games on day one and another two million since release
A win for the DRM I think. But also proof that sales are starting to taper-off.
