Quite possibly the worst DRM and most ridiculous idea ever

If they see piracy as being that much of a problem and it helps them combat it and in turn achieve higher revenues then I cannot see it as being anything but an overall positive thing for PC gamers that actually pay for the content.

...How is this a positive thing for people who pay for the content? My internet connection is choppy - my wireless card needs to be replaced sometime - and this shit sucks for me. Who could this be good for?

This is kinda the situation I'm in. My wireless internet connection can be very unstable, which in this case could be game breaking.

If I bought a game with this kind of protection I would probably download a pirated copy (assuming it's easier to use) and play that instead.

That is not an entirely unreasonable solution, though I would just avoid the game on PC altogether.
