I wonder why no domain name is associated with it? This isn't going to take off with consumers, I'm the consumer that bought this thing, and now they want me to download a plugin for a product I've bought! Very intrusive. Why would it be DRM'ed when I've bought the damn thing? What information does it collect to enable the DRM? I think it's going back, and I think I'll write the game publisher to let them know how I feel. I just don't understand why something so simple is DRM'ed. I mean one needs to read the manual just to play the damn game. It's not like I'm buying the PDF, I've already bought it!
