if WoW warcraft and the other mmorpg's sold the cd/dvd as
£5 cost of manufacturing
£x months subscription
and sold it retail and the game could only be played online then anyone who 'acquires' a copy is technicaly only saving £5 as the rest of the cover price is subscription
no ok granted they dont do that, but if the RRP included 2 or 3 months rental and spoof accounts were found and deleted with ease, then all you are saving is £5 (i know ive repeated that bit i couldt be bothered re editing it)
other games this isnt possible, and nice as advertising more to the pirates sounds, if there is a fix it will be fixed, i really just hate the honest punters getting shafted by these measures just to 'stop' those that dont feel they have to pay
