when will D3 come out? Im have to plan save money buy original. So far D2 is the only original game i buy. Other games like starcraft, dragon age all download.
My first computer game oso is Diablo 1 so im loyal diablo fan.
If not enuff money only download but each Blizzard release they sure make some kind of hackproof stuff to combat piracy. Maybe thats why they release slow. Need research hackproof method also. I hope they wont go to the extent of needing to log into internet each time wanna play
Please support original.
DRM exist because of people like you pirating it.
Starcraft 2 have an offline system.

You don't have problems with DRM does not means other do not have problems with it.
Most if not all DRM hurt genuine players more than pirates. In case you don't know, I can get pirated Starcraft 2 with RM30 at my place. The only difference is there is no multiplayer.
You might see this as a winning situation but, tell you something, if I am to pirate a game I won't bother about multiplayer, I am satisfied with just being able to play the campaign, some skirmishes and maybe download a few maps to play against the AI. In the end, I as a pirate enjoyed the game like normal, play it for 2 maybe 3 months then move on to another game while the genuine players have to take all the problems with DRM up their rear.
I do support original games and I agree that good developers deserves to get rewarded for their effort but when it comes to DRM, it is always the genuine players that got hurt the most.
DRM hurt genuine players, i dont think so. If you are having problem with DRM, then, it's mostly on your side, like your computer or internet connection. Dont blame Steam/Ubisoft/GFWL(in some cases). Also DRM exist because of maggots like you who buy a RM30 copy of SC2. Game developers wants to protect their work, not being stolen by people like you. Thats why DRM exist, and no one actually like DRM, including game developers because it's wasting their money to get those DRMs. You are actually losing, because when you pirate games, developers get put off in developing games on PC. Then, they moved to console completely or you be second class citizen where consoles get everything first.
I have Starcraft 2, and tonnes of games on Steam. Both system rarely give me any problem, and im happily playing them with regular free content and update. Games like Supreme Commander 2, have a world of difference if you compare a pirated version and original. I bought Sup Com 2 for RM21, and im still playing it after 6 months because GPG gives some of the most fantastic patches i ever seen, where maggots like you, who play pirated would have a lot of trouble updating it. I dont play Sup Com 2 on multiplayer at all, but im very happy with it,even just playing against the utterly brutal AI which is fun compared to the brain dead 1.00 AI. At the same time, im glad my RM21 went to GPG, instead of some ah beng.
I can go on and on, like my copy of Dawn of War 1 has way more content that you can ever get on a pirated copy, Black Ops that does not lag so much, or Need for Speed Shift doesnt lag every 30 seconds, and it's filled with console exclusive DLC, also cannot be done on a pirated copy. Even i barely play my SC2, i bet im having more fun in it than you, because the online system is great. The custom maps are fun and creative and the automatch system runs like a dream. And the best thing is, i dont have to spend one hour just figure out how to install the damn game.
To be honest, i have this principle: "Dont think the game is worth it, dont buy it", because i believe developers who have worked hard for it deserves to get paid, even at 75% off from original price.
