I'm glad a huge company like blizzard feels this way, because honestly DRM deters me from buying games more than anything else.. Stop concentrating on designing a way for people not to steal your game and concentrate on making a game worth paying for.

wow scudz.. thats crazy I've never encountered this but if I did I would surely be pissed that I just bought a copied version of a game.
I see your point, but at the same time you log in to play massively multiplayer online games, you don't have to be connected to the internet when you're playing a single player game. (yea I'm looking at you AC2)
haha my bad zacd, you beat me to it.
haha and they got me
I thought that was the case anyway?
With a shitty internet provider like comcast I wouldn't be surprised getting screwed out of playing single play SC2 every now and again.
Those games are a service, and the purchase of the game is simply a one time fee for an ongoing service of a game that will continually grow update, and upgrade.
the "one time activation" is only for single player, happens one time every time you load the game. I love blizzard but the spin they're trying to put on this is ridiculous.
I think this is due to the multiplayer heavy games they are, you cannot pirate the players to your harddrive, and taping on multiplayer like many games do today just doesn't work, every game that wants to avoid piracy has to have multiplayer at the level of blizzard or valve.
and then there's that issue that every game shouldn't just be a heavy online based game
ubisofts drm does nothing at all for you.
