First post :)
Well there is something pretty big everyone is missing.
Lets say for example that Diablo 1 (released 1996) was released with this every-10 days authentication system, and Blizzard closed down in 2004 and didn't release a patch for diablo 1 to play without the authentication and one day in 2008 I decided to play the game...
... but I can't...
alot of us on Console and PC replay our old games. I fired up Chrono trigger late last year for another play through, and in febuary I fired up Doom again (using Zdoom). if the company closes down and doesn't release a patch before hand to remove this system, I feel its a pretty big loss to the player since well they will have to crack the game if they wish to replay their title in years time to come.
Just another perspective on the subject..
