GOG.com’s Trevor Longino - Diablo III style DRM could make us ‘lose a chunk of gaming history.”
Games like Diablo III with bespoke constantly online DRM could be lost to gaming culture at large if for any reason the games publisher or developer stops supporting that infrastructure. So when you lose that online connection, you lose a chunk of gaming history.

Who would give a shit about D3 in 5, 10 years anyway?
The same type of people that still play Diablo 2, 12 years after its release date.
You'd think that would be obvious...
Forget Diablo 2, there are still people playing Diablo 1 on official B.net servers.
