It was bound to happen, but at least the people who paid for it weren't punished by the DRM. Of course it's going to be up early: there's nothing to crack :) At least we know it's an anticipated title! :) All of stardocks other games have been pirated and they're still making cash right? I don't think it matters. It's like saying, "Hey, it rained! I knew it would happen but I wanted to let everyone know!" :)
Seems I missed the hot topic. I'm a HUGE fan of MP games and honestly, simply having MP capabilities in a game like this is amazing in and of itself. MP is there, and if you have to have two copies validated against the server, that's exactly the kind of DRM that I would consider acceptable :) I'd really like to see a Diablo-esque MP "Spawn." I mean, really, you can play Halo with 4 people on the same console, right? Just one person has to have a license. I really liked
Thank You! I love digital distribution, but hate DRM. No matter how malicious the DRM, someone will crack it and the game will end up on a torrent somewhere. It's not hard to find the good torrents, either. The only thing DRM seems to accomplish is to annoy paying users. I've torrented games I own because the DRM is too nasty. I didn't buy Assassins creed 2 or Silent Hunter 5 because it came from Ubisoft.
