It isnt about PIRACY, but in contrary, it is a means to GREED.

By forcing individuals to be online all the time and force them to authenticate via an internet connection, IN GAME ADVERTISING will be the next part of the implementation of this form of DRM.

End result will be the same as Cable TV so many years ago, where people were misled to believe that by paying for TV instead of going with over the air market (also supported by advertising, but the advertisers didnt get to forcibly track you), and this is no different. EVERY game will eventually require a permanent internet connection, you'll have to pay for the game, at full price, then a monthly account for the game, then you'll be saturated with Advertising suggesting the best remedy for Erectile Dysfunction is a Splint and some Duck Tape.
