No, Starcraft 2 has DRM that makes you be online when you boot it up, but doesn't require you to keep your online connection going for the whole time you play. This is a different, and much worse, kind of thing.
Quote:So reading the article, I have to ask. How does ANY of that actually explain why it can't be played offline? That "explanation" just notes new features. That those features need online access is clear, but that doesn't explain why they can't let you play offline, even though it would clearly disable those features.Because the only actual reason they do this kind of thing is to slow down pirates for a bit longer, that's why.
