I hope he's more reasonable than that. It will only result in the alienation of his actual supporters...
I supported Dark Silver as I loved Big Brother, but I immediately pulled my support when he introduced his DRM bullshit in his new game...
And look at him now: he's forced to pull it, as he doesn't have the infrastructure to keep it up. There were constant outages in which the game was completely unplayable...
If people want to play your game, they will. (If the biggest companies in the world can't manage, why would he think that he will...)
And if they want to support you, they will.
The only ones hurt by the DRM are in the intersection of the above 2 categories...
