You don't want the pirated edition to be a better experience. ![]() Offline-only solutions are just an arms race, and by the time you get to where cracks take weeks or months, you're going to be breaking things on legit users' systems. ![]() Lots of games are doing this, and it's aweful to find your purchased software no longer works because the company folded or didn't want to pay for a server to run anymore when the app should be entirely local. Personally I think it's unethical to do because apart from not being able to use it when you're not connected, once those servers are taken offline you're basically stealing back something you sold people. But adding an online-only requirement infuriates the geeks, who make the recommendations to the masses. There's really no good solution besides having some of the code run on a server.
