They're clearly dead set on maintaining an extremely paranoid DRM policy. It's probably because unlike most developers, they actually put a TON of time and effort into their game and need to make money off of it. I can understand that, but if in development of the game they dug themselves into a financial hole, well that's frankly their problem. Watching them try to make it everyone else's is just hilarious.
They should get some pointers from Taleworld on how to make cool detailed games without becoming manic depressive about it.
