German Group Issues Ultimatum to Blizzard Over Diablo III DRM
Always-online requirement centre of debate.
Diablo III requires an always-online internet connection. German consumer advocacy group, the Federation of Consumer Organisations, doesn't like that much - and has given Blizzard until July 27th to respond and fix connection issues that are preventing players from accessing the game. Otherwise, it will pursue legal action.
The consumer group wants Blizzard to repackage the game to better explain that users require an internet connection - and one that is persistent - to be able to enjoy it properly. It's also angry at the developer over the dreaded 'Error 37' fiasco that locked many early players out at launch, stating the Blizzard should have anticipated demand.
If a satisfactory response is not given by the World of Warcraft maker by the end of the week, the organisation will seek to pursue a response in court.
