Reason behind internet connection at start

First of all, I have to say that this was the best gaming experience I had in months. I wanted to play this game so much since its release in 2001 but it was no longer available due to the company going out of business. This is the reason behind the internet connection at start. The company suffered so much from illegal copies of this game spreading like a virus. It is rumored that only few thousand copies were sold whereas few hundred thousand downloads were made. Luckily, the developers came back under ROIGAMES to remake this classic and they do not want to repeat that nightmare. That is why the game requires internet connection to verify that it is not an illegal copy. According to ROIGAMES, there are attempts to hack their server and create illegal copies even as I speak. Yes, it might be a tedious step but I wanted to emphasize why this was necessary. Thanks for reading.
