A Torrent system should be somehow implemented for consoles. That way everybody will eventually suffer this! Equal opportunity for everyone.

people already pirate 360 and Wii games and stuff like this will be making there way to consoles soon. It's only a matter of time until you have to tie your game to your online profile (XBL PSN etc) to play online, now you can't say I didn't warn you.

That's no reason to punish their customers.

I bought a lot of Ubisoft games. I will simply stop buying their games if they bring this to the Wii, too.

 

Of course it's not a reason. Everyone knows the real reason is killing second hand market and making sure you can't even borrow your game to your friend.

yup that's the real reason, they know that far less than a tenth of people that pirate games would buy it if they couldn't pirate it. But someone willing to buy second hand at a $5 discount more than likely would. They are just trialling it on PC as they know PC gamers are more used to DRM and worth less to them, plus they can use piracy as an excuse. Other publishers are trialling other measures like EA's online pass.
