My main concern with Ego Draconis is whether Larian will require online activation prior to install or purchase. Such systems, while they purport to fight piracy, actually do little other than inconvenience legitimate users and guarantee that their software will die an early death (see Shamus Young's
Authorization Servers article for more on the problems posed by online activation).
I personally have boycotted every game requiring this system from Half Life 2 onwards (including Spore, Bioshock, Empire Total War, Far Cry 2 and Mass Effect) so I would be interested in knowing whether Ego Draconis should be added to that list - or whether Larian hold their customers in higher regard that EA, 2K and Ubisoft.
