There will always be offline play, including LAN play that doesn’t require authorization. Our Steam version uses standard Steam DRM. So there’s a one-time online activation and that’s it. What are you guys doing for DRM/online support/requirement with Torchlight 2? Same as Torchlight 1 basically. I understand their approach and sympathize with the technical difficulties of what they are trying to do. We sacrifice a cheat-free environment to give players the most options, they are sacrificing options and flexibility for security of the economy like you would in an MMO. Whatever you do, you have to make sacrifices.

What are your thoughts on that, the no single player or LAN options? I will confess I don’t know all the details, but it seems that most of what they are doing is related to trying to keep a truly secure, cheat-free economy in Diablo III. Regarding the always-on connection Blizzars are employing, the DRM in Diablo 3. I think both approaches are legitimate, though, this is just the path we’re taking for Torchlight II. We will stay a one-time low cost purchase. Online, offline, LAN play, and development tools. Instead we chose to give our players the most flexibility possible. Did you consider any RMT aspects to Torchlight 2 trading or other features? Why or why not? No.

We will ship development tools with the game with which you can just make any item you like (as well as mod the game however you want.) This choice precludes having an actual worldwide economy of any kind. Torchlight 2 is taking the opposite approach and opening everything up.

Will that have any auction house style of trading? No. So what about Torchlight 2 which you are currently working on. How about in the early days of the Diablo MMORPG plans? Yes, but not firm plans. Did you consider any systems like that in Diablo 2? Not in Diablo 2, but as a result of the item auctions on EBAY for Diablo II items, we began to consider it. I’m glad they are doing it, though, because it serves as another point of distinction between Diablo III and Torchlight II. I’m not sure how I feel about it today – there are pluses and minuses. What do you think of the Diablo 3 auction house and the RMT aspect of it? It’s something we thought about back in the old Diablo days as a way for people to have a more-secure transaction for all the items they were selling on EBAY.
