Exactly. At some point the drm just hinders the buyer too much, and said buyer decide he's better off without the game / movie / book / whatever.
Starcraft II tempted me, but the whole battle.net activation. Mmm, no no...
Activation on on-line sales (steam), ok make sense. Though i love the gog.com system better. Download the game, then install whenever and wherever you want.
But buying a game on a CD and the game requires Internet to install ?? Now what. Got myself screw by this with Half Life (cd version), it wouldn't start because of no Internet. (I just moved, and was waiting to get a line running, took about a month...)
