That's because you're only paying attention to what is explicitly stated, rather than also at the statements' implications. When someone says, "I don't mind online checks for online games because I already have to be online," what the mean is, "The DRM in this instance does not impose any additional inconvenience on me." It means they don't see anything fundamentally wrong with the DRM checks, else they would oppose said checks for online games as well.

@Malenko Look man i understand that you may want to play it when your out and about that's cool, the point i'm trying to get across is that the online check, is not a check all game modes single player or otherwise is all online it isn't like D1/D2 where you had the entire game on your computer and you just logged in to play online, it's a client/server type of game like an MMO the only asset's you have on your computer is the base game engine and graphic assets everything else is generated server side all the AI,loot drops, map layout...ect they did it this way to prevent dupes/hacks/bots...ect that's all i'm trying to get across.
And as for DRM checks for single player/multi-player, online/offline I don't have an issue with them at all as long as they are not intrusive or interfere with the gameplay in other words more like steam and less like ubisoft
Malenko:
Then you're just twisting what people say into what you want to hear, you are a lawyer and its in your nature :) . If I have to be online to play an online game that's one thing, if I have to be online to play a game that could be played while offline, that's another.
schmokie-pie, I'm not arguing with you we're pretty much on the same side. I dont really like any sort of DRM, I'm not an ---uvula--- pirate like Fallacy. I spend way to much of my hard earned money not by stealing stuff but by buying. I even buy humble indie bundles that I dont expect to play just to support developers. I wish big companies trusted me like I'm forced to trust them. If you're ever in Delaware I'll kick back with you and buy you some beers, its all good bro. :cheers:

Man you are just a troll bait chef, kudos! Scroll up and read what vigo posted, I'll wait.
Done? YAY! Lets get back to semantics, you say its an MMO? MMO meaning Massively multiplayer online?

--- Quote ---The main focus of Diablo III is co-op PvE style play. Up to four players (yes, just four) will join up in a game and play together, and players in the same game are now always friendly and in the same party. There is no non-consensual PvP in Diablo III, and no way to "go hostile" in a PvE game. (All PvP takes place in the Arena, a feature that will not be ready for use upon Diablo 3's launch.)

I hope my PC can handle 3 other players all at the same time. As for WoW, yes it counts, if you can pick some sort of mode where its single player and you don't allow others to join you game or effect your world at all.

I'm not on the same page as you with the troll bait, but to each their own. We should start advertising WoW as single player because it satisfies your above statement when instancing.
For people with poor internet connections it sucks, no doubt about it. My next question would then be do you avoid MMO's all together because of said connection troubles or have you tried them and experienced a horrific time trying to play and continually getting disconnected?

Here's an interesting interview from Jay Wilson, the Game Director of Diablo 3 who basically says they see it as a multiplayer game primarily. Very interesting to hear why he says they chose some things over others. I also found it funny he described the single player experience just like WoW lol. He also says those with poor internet connections will be just fine as they've built in way to "hide" latency issues but I'll wait to see that in the real world.

Here's an extended interview too that's got lots of good stuff.
