As I mentioned before, DRM when done wrong can put a big hindrance on a game and force a load of unnecessary features that do nothing but tick off gamers. EA pulled this already, as did Blizzard with Diablo III. However, they may have learned when they announced the title for the PlayStation 3 and 4.
Speaking to The Penny Arcade Report, the folks at the Diablo III booth at PAX East have said that the console version, which now features 4 player co-op (on and offline), will have no DRM attached on release. Meaning: the game won't need a constant internet connection to play. Fancy.
Note that I said 'console version' up there. Blizzard also stated that the title, "...is not necessarily a Sony exclusive." Hm. Time will tell.
