People that bought Resident Evil iOS ports are pissed that now there's a mandatory DRM online check at launch. Punish only the idiot customer who paid $150 and can't play, when pirates laugh at that (www.engadget.com)

Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.

I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone"

Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.
