S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Always-on DRM?

This Russian report seems to indicate that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 may require a persistent internet connection to play. Here is a rough machine translation of the answer to a question about DRM in GSC Game World's upcoming first-person shooter sequel: "Protection from piracy? Part of the content will be located on the server and downloaded as the game progresses. We need constant access to the Internet. Will finish the text information, code and maximum game. Software piracy hurts us to beat, we fight with him, but in moderation. If people can not buy a licensed version, it is to our advantage, so he bought a pirate, and then wanted to buy a license. In Ukraine, there are different products that people love so much that he buys a license in principle. We want to create just such a product." Thanks RPS via Kotaku Aus/GSC.

Always-on is no problem at all for the vast majority of serious, legit and honest PC gamers of this world.
It's only a problem for the stealing scum who like to keep their gaming PC(s) offline "just in case" so no one can detect their multiple terabytes of stolen games. Or for the cheapskates who are pissing their pants in sheer angst of any new DRM scheme that might actually all but eliminate piracy or at least delay cracks substantially.

Good luck, GSC! You guys rock!


GSC Gameworld is a company that is located in the Ukraine.
Ukraine is not a very rich country and the connectivity in that country is not very good. Pulling a stunt like that will probably alienate many of the people who live there and would like to play that game.

But, please, you were saying that "always-on is no problem at all for the vast majority of serious, legit and honest PC gamers of this world"?

You know, being a troll is actually quite tricky. If you want to be a good troll then you have to twist your words so no one realises that you are trolling.
If you continue like that you will never become a good troll.
o go back to troll school and try again.
Now we donce.
