PC Game DRM by DesiredUsername2008-09-15 16:52:32
  Hmmm, not a bad idea. by Snate 2008-09-15 16:58:38

The dongle could be kept in the DVD case most games come in these days and wouldn't require authentication with a server so the worries about the server going away are gone.

There are still a couple of problems though.

There is the problem of losing the dongle which is no different than losing the CD/DVD but you could make a backup of the CD/DVD.

And there is the problem of the dongle becoming defective which is no different than the CD getting damaged but again you could make a backup CD/DVD.

I think I still prefer this idea to what is currently being done.
