What bull****. This is just another example of the ongoing lobbying to abandon the PC altogether, when all attempts to cripple it with DRM have failed. From an industry that hates if users have control over their hard- and software.
The piracy debate is mostly propaganda. Because people who can afford the time to download 5 gigabytes of game data are not the majority, and these people couldn't afford many games any way.
That's also why most big PC releases now have insane online registration systems. The game industry goes the way of hollywood. Let's hope in the long run this also means emergence of an alternative market that caters for people with a different taste, or any taste at all.
