    Epic Games considering always-on DRM for Fornite   Posted
by: Matt Liebl  Epic Games' new co-op survival, Fornite, may
require you to always be connected to the internet to play.  As
reported by RockPaperShotgun, Epic Games is considering an
always-on DRM for Fornite. Interpreted by many gamers as a way
for publishers to limit the use of digital content, Epic
maintains that it would be used to "improve the game" and not as
a defense against piracy.  At this point, the studio is still
weighing the options, but it's a phrase no PC gamer wants to
hear. Blizzard pulled the same stunt with Diablo 3, requiring
players to always be connected to the internet and to enjoy the
game. This raised concern among gamers because while Diablo 3
does allow multiplayer gameplay, the campaign can be played
primarily alone. Of course, as the story goes, when Diablo 3
first launched Blizzard's servers crapped out due to stress,
leaving players unable to enjoy the game they purchased. That,
my friends, is the downfall to DRM.
