There's no way this DRM will work. Plenty of games going the same way recently, all pirated almost overnight.

If it was a 'Steam' game, well, then you could use it offline. Just need to be online to activate it. Never thought I would say this, but the steam system has lots of advantages, despite being critical at its conception. And I dare say more secure than DRM.


This no play while offline..... we don't all have crisp connections, it would be a never ending nightmare. Murphy's law dictates, that when your net does go down, it will be at exactly the moment you find time to have a lash at SH.
