  • Blizzard: Fighting Piracy Is A Losing Battle

    "If we've done our job right and implemented Battle.net in a great way, people will want to be connected while they're playing the single player campaign so they can stay connected to their friends and earn the achievements," Pearce explained his company's point of view.
    Moreover, Pearce believes that fighting piracy is a losing battle. "If you start talking about DRM and different technologies to try to manage it, it's really a losing battle for us, because the [cracking] community is always so much larger, and the number of people out there that want to try to counteract that technology, whether it's because they want to pirate the game or just because it's a curiosity for them, is much larger than our development teams."
    "We need our development teams focused on content and cool features, not anti-piracy technology," the Blizzard founder concluded.
