New console admits to “always on” power requirement

Digital Rights Management or DRM for short are access control technologies that limit the usage of digital content and devices.2). Now, DRM is varied field of technologies, but I am mostly concerned with the license verification of video games. This involves the use of a connection to a central server to verify the legiticamy of the verification and the installation files. The best known come in different flavors and go as such, in increasing aggressiveness:

Note that a game may pick and choose freely and create hybrids between these.

None

On Installation

Periodic

On Execution

Always

Always on DRM redirects here.

Apparently this is actually meant to be a reference to XBox-One's always on power mode, I personally always understood this as meant to be the logical extreme of always online DRM. Yknow, just because the console has an always on mode doesn't mean it's required to, a condition that could be met if this was talking about DRM.
