User blog comment:Ausir/Diablo III requires constant Internet connection/@comment-68.52.46.17-20120516233107

A number of people have called others idiot here for saying that they would not buy this game due to the internet requirement. This I don't understand. I for one was told at gamestop that internet was not required (all they had was DL cards) so I bought it. Then I actually READ the card to see that yes it's..required. Now I'm returning the game as difficult as this is proving to be. (They have to verify I didnt use the activation code) The reason? And call me idiot for this...but I'm about to be in afghanistan for quite a while. Wait...but..they have internet there right??? RIGHT!??!?!?! Sadly no, not outside the major bases where I won't be. My fond memories of diablo 1 & 2 (which i never played once as multiplayer) will not be repeated it seems. Until the game is cracked...which means I will likely download the game off a torrent site simply so I can physically play. I think that my case, and the case of any soldier on EARTH who is involved in afghanistan, demonstrates that this method of DRM is not a wise bussiness policy. That's my two cents.
