iD Software thinks forcing always-on DRM a good idea

That's what you get for years of constant piracy........

They'll get years of constant piracy as a result too.

Lol

There's one gaming segment that has been always on for the last 10 years+.

it's call MMORPG and there's the one segment not suffering massively from piracy.......

MMOs host stuff on their servers instead of storing it on the user's PC. Unless always-online DRM does something similar, it won't work. As long as major components aren't hosted on the publisher's servers, this kind of DRM can't work. It makes cracking the game harder but it won't prevent it. Personally I'm not going to get any game that uses always-online DRM, even if it means not buying any games at all.
