I smell.... a lie. o_o; Of course they can tell us whatever they want. We don't know what's going on in there, so we just go with whatever they want to say.
As for the new DRM. It's not going to make pirates buy the game. They'll just wait until the game becomes dirt cheap, or is cracked, and then they'll play it. No game besides the Online Multiplayer FPS cock-fests are must haves. I know this because I'm dirt poor, and my computer couldn't play the Sims. Want to play a game really badly? Just get it later, when it's cheaper. Not like the game's going to grow wings and fly into space... Hmm...
