Well my extended sense of entitlement atrophied back in Beta 1.4 of Counter Strike. Really they didnt make these moves to hate you, or because they are lazy. And no-one has actually given it a chance since it hasn't been released yet. But provided there arent queues to actually join a game a-la old Gamespy Arcade. This wont be so bad.
And lets face it, there have been a lot of changes to the world of gaming for some time now. And try as they might video game companies are struggling to keep PC gaming outside of an MMO setting profitable. Perhaps measures that prevent piracy will result in people buying more. And like any economy, the more people spend, the more indirect returns they will see.

This has been pretty consistently proved false. Convenience and quality result in people buying more. Anti-piracy measures result in shitdicks pirating it just to show they can.
Also, pirated copies will probably end up utilizing dedicated servers to play on which I mean...holy shit does that break the entire concept of this decision.

I've pirated games because the anti-pirate software made the game unplayable for me. The only way I could get it to run was to find a pirated copy. As such, I try to avoid games with much anti-piracy software. I've turned more towards consoles because the games run with no fuss on them. Anti-piracy schemes have turned an extremely dedicated computer gamer off to computer gaming in general.
