Client-Server != DRM
by Claude Errera 
, Friday, March 22, 2013, 09:59 (4273 days ago) @ Cody Miller
But Destiny not only requires you to be online, but it requires you to be connected to a particular server run by the people developing / publishing the game. There's no other way to get around this. So if they don't want you playing, you can't connect, and you can't play, even if you have all the hardware to run the game code.
Wow, you really know a lot about how Destiny works! I wish I had your in with the developer; I certainly don't have anywhere this level of certainty about how Destiny's gonna be when it comes out!
