You know the prototypical hot coffee case was warranted, right? The plaintiff won.

The McDonalds had been told multiple times that their coffee machine was at a setting well above the safety limit, and they ignored it. The woman suffered third degree burns on her legs. That's more than "hot" coffee.
It's amusing how people use an example of the system working perfectly well as justification for tort reform.

It's to stop "pirates." And by "pirates," I mean, "people who play used games." *NM*

Close... it's for control, for a variety of reasons. "piracy" and the used game market are the tip

The difference I see is that Steam has an offline mode that (mostly) works. D3 has none. *NM*

Stuff like D3's always-on DRM and phone home schemes in no way contribute to that future.
