Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time 563

Posted by Soulskill on Friday May 28, 2010 @03:24AM from the what-about-lan-play dept.

Stoobalou writes "Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce reckons that fighting piracy with DRM is a losing battle. His company — which is responsible for one of the biggest video games of all time, the addictive online fantasy role player World of Warcraft — is to release StarCraft 2 on July 27, and Pearce has told Videogamer that the title won't be hobbled with the kind of crazy copy protection schemes that have made Ubisoft very unpopular in gaming circles of late. StarCraft 2 will require a single online activation using the company's Battle.net servers, after which players will be allowed to play the single-player game to their hearts' content, without being forced to have a persistent Internet connection."

How can they expect to survive when their motherboards only works a bit. There was this model where there are known problems. Instead of fixing the problem when I go in, they gave me an old motherboard with different problems. After 3 times of getting motherboard with worse and worse quality, I gave up.

Well, then shouldn't the main treatment for pain be just handwaving and poking people with needles? Why are people STILL given pain killers that works 25% of the time and potentially cause serious health problems?

If I am a German and I was given painkillers, I would probably sue the German medical establishment.
