Similar to the PlayStation Network release ofFinal Fight: Double Impact, so too doesBionic Commando Rearmed 2on PSN have DRM which requires an Internet connection upon booting up the game.

The difference is that this time, Capcom issued a disclaimer about the online authentication inRearmed 2‘s PlayStation Store description. If PSN never went down — scheduled or otherwise — this wouldn’t concern me so much, but as it stands, not being able to play a game you purchased is disheartening.

There’s nothing worse than DRM harming actual paying customers more than the people trying to get around the system.
