Wasn't forspoken an absolute performance desaster, when it launched? Then again, maybe a halfway properly implemented game could benefit from it eventually.

Single Player games phoning home is not the timeline I want to be in.

You don’t have a choice. That has been happening for a long time now.

I don't really care from a DRM standpoint, but I'm a little annoyed from a privacy standpoint and a "this game continues to work in the future after the company goes belly-up" standpoint.

Consumers absolutely have a choice. Stop buying unfinished AAA games that have intrusive DRM and the problem solves itself.

I haven’t bought a game with Denuvo or similar always-on schemes in… probably about 6 years. I do plenty of PC gaming.

Cool to hear, but when has loading times been a problem in Diablo

Doesnt it need to be developed from the ground up with that in mind? If that is the case, then why doesnt it have direct storage already?
