wrt to the whole 'always-on' thing for DRM - is it not more likely that it would use the Spotify model - i.e. you have to go online at least once every 30-days

wrt to the whole 'always-on' thing for DRM - is it not more likely that it would use the Spotify model - i.e. you have to go online at least once every 30-days to verify that you still hold a licence/subscription? That would be more practical than requiring a permanent Internet connection.
- DannyBee 14y agoThere are two distinct original rumors. One is that it will require a permanent internet connection. One is that it will not allow used games to be played. Some of these articles have combined these two rumors to form a new rumor: It will require a permanent internet connection to play games. At least the original reasons given for always on were not DRM related. The DRM/used game blocking was going to be implemented by one-time-use codes for every game that served no purpose but to activate the game.
