Fighting PC game piracy with restrictive copy protection is

SC2 sucks. I know I played it in beta, bored of in just 3 days. I wont be buying it. Already uninstalled and already passed on 5 serials for it. I rather play C&C and WIC both allow easy LAN play.

SC is/was a RTS. Diablo is a RPG. How can you compare? I didn't even think Diablo was all that great compared to the Ultima series. Hack and slash is all Diablo was.

Yes, piracy is a wild goose chase, and recognizing that is the first step. Ensuring that users receive added value(s) when they legally own the game is the second.

JoWood tried going without copy protection once with Prince of Persia and it did not work out - probably because that particular game was not worth owning.
So far, I did not have to re-sell any of my games from Blizzard be it RTS of RPG - those are worthy titles - so I guess they do not have anything to worry about when they make such move... I truly wish it will work out as planned and it will set a good precedence for others to follow. Worthless games will have to continue use DRM - probably UBI's - but who bothers with those for long?
