Quite possibly the worst DRM and most ridiculous idea ever

Its not the same as simply logging in to a server to authenticate. A portion of the game has to be run off the server for it to function properly. In this case its the ability to save. So whilst the system can tolerate an internet outage you cannot treat the game as any more than a demo unless someone manages to put the save functionality back into the game code.

No it's false. It's actually very simple to crack. You just make the game think that your own computer is the server. It's been done before, it's not like online authentication hasn't been cracked before. Trust me, the pirated version will be infinitely superior to the bought copy, they jsut fucked themselves over. Also the fact they are selling a agme at $60 on the PC is laughable.

OT:

Making of Game: $15 million

Developing DRM: $3 million

Pirated copy better than retail: Priceless.

You're assuming they aren't familiar with that method to counter-act this type of system because????

Because there IS no way to counteract this. You do realize the code of the game is RIGHT THERE ON THE PC? Nothing they can do will amke something hack proof. Just like there is nothing to make your computer safe if the hardware falsl in the hands of a hacker, your software is automatically unsafe the moemnt its files hit another person's computer. With PC games that's all the time. There is no way to stop hacking, none.
