Blizzard boss says DRM is a waste of time
Blizzard founder, Frank Pearce reckons that fighting piracy with DRM is a losing battle.
His company - which is responsible for the biggest videogame of all time, the worryingly-addictive online fantasy role player World of Warcraft - is to release Starcraft 2 on July 27th and Pearce has told Videogamer that the title won't be hobbled with the kind of crazy copy protection schemes which have made Ubisoft very unpopular in gaming circles of late.
Starcraft 2 will require a single online activation using the company's Battle.net servers, after which players will be allowed to play the single-player game to their hearts' content, without being forced to have a persistent Internet connection.
