Good day to you sir, i say good day!

Paying $60 for a game you can only play when you're allowed to that came with a less than worthless manual and absolutely no communication or post release support from the publisher and all the bugs are other reasons, but not specifically DRM related.
As always, I must agree with what you said
Maybe I am so worrying about the 1.2 patch release I forgot about those points.

It's the legit user who's upset about it. Either because they have a bad connection or on matter of principle.
Right too, I would call me a "light" DRM complainer as I understand that this DRM cames out because of piracy in the first time.

Anyway publishers should face it, they will NEVER won this Publisher/Pirates war. So they better find another solution than implementing some too restrictive DRM for legit users.

Or next time you will see on the box :

"A webcam is required to play this game at anytime."
and this to perform an eye scan to authentificate the user when playing, if you doesn't look at the screen for more than 1 minutes the game will pause and ... blah blah blah.
