I can't believe I missed this!

Remember that MTV interview where Blizzard was shocked about the fans reaction to the Diablo 3 persistent online requirement?

Well, Robert Bridenbecker also stated that by implementing these online requirements:

You're guaranteeing that there are no hacks, no dupes.

Let me repeat that. The Blizzards Vice President of Online Technologies just said that they're GUARANTEEING no hacks and no dupes because it's online.

I have no words for this.
