Blizzard President: "Diablo 3" does not support off-line mode to piracy

Sina Science and technology news Beijing time July 20 afternoon, the "Diablo 3" can only play online, Blizzard Entertainment founder, President Maik Mohan (Mike Morhaime) in the forum to fans and critics wrote an open letter. Mohan says he understands fans ' disappointment, but for now, he thinks online gaming is an effective form of DRM (digital Rights Management) and the most effective way to play the game. "Another topic of concern at the forum is the online experience, which is widely believed to have little effect on copyright protection because the game has been invaded," he admits. He said: "We have never said that online requirements can ensure that the game does not have any fraud or account theft problem, but to some extent to alleviate the problem." More importantly, online requirements are critical to the long-term integrity of the game. I understand that fans are eager to play offline and play Diablo 3, but "Diablo 3" was first defined as an online game that could be played with friends, always the best way to support that idea. The usefulness of online requirements is that it includes buddy lists, communication, teaming, PvP, and user support, consumer services, security, and so on, all of which are closely related to the nature of online games. He added: "These and other features that support online are critical to our design of Diablo 3." But one of our top priorities is to make some improvements to the online experience and the cooperative game, making the game more worthwhile. All in all, although online gaming is a downward trend, I still believe it is the best long-term decision. "Diablo 3 is a really good game, but both players and hackers think online requirements are bad for them," he said. Many gamers find that they are blocked by DRM in the game, and other players with poor internet connections or no networks have no way to play the game. (Cold month)
