This has anti-piracy written through and through, and PC gaming as a whole has brought it on themselves.
Just look at what's happening now. A bunch of giant threads full of angry people saying that they're going to pirate this game "in revenge". Gosh, how lucky for them - they get to protest and they get a free game to boot! They're the digital equivalent of the people who loot stores in the middle of a civic protest.
