So hacker will crack that part of the game with a hacked critical part (stolen by a original game).

I own Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts; if you are connected to internet you have to login as registered user (inserting cdkey during craation of the account), if not the disk must be inserted (and antipiracy system will activate).

Private lobby for online play.

I think this is the good way since many games are directed the online gameplay.
