The review score is already dropping on steam, I wonder if this will encourage them to reverse/fix the drm. Interesting to see they've already tried this and it didn't work, wonder why they're trying again on a different title.

Is this just DRM or also Anti-Cheat? It makes no sense to me to put DRM in an online game that needs to stay online, I would guess there are other methods to secure logging in.
Also, yes this could be to avoid having private servers and such, but people that have private servers are power users who have bought the game or people without money to pay for the game and have to settle for insecure servers...
Monster Hunter isn't an online game, you only connect to servers if you're trying to join multiplayer. I can't see the feasibility or even a possible reason for private servers for this game. This is absolutely for DRM purposes.
If this game had private servers, I would be running one. Since it doesn't have private servers I won't even buy it.
What would the point of a private Monster Hunter server even be?
happening to a lot of Capcom games
