Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time
Stoobalou writes "Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce reckons that fighting piracy with DRM is a losing battle. His company — which is responsible for one of the biggest video games of all time, the addictive online fantasy role player World of Warcraft — is to release StarCraft 2 on July 27, and Pearce has told Videogamer that the title won't be hobbled with the kind of crazy copy protection schemes that have made Ubisoft very unpopular in gaming circles of late. StarCraft 2 will require a single online activation using the company's Battle.net servers, after which players will be allowed to play the single-player game to their hearts' content, without being forced to have a persistent Internet connection."
Most people are actually willing to pay for quality!

The figures are BS, but if you can't afford something or think it sucks, you aren't entitled to get it for free. I mean, seriously, if you honestly believe people pirate a game-with full intention of playing it through start to finish-because it blows...then people are even dumber, even more mindless in their consumerism than I initially thought.
