The biggest headache for CD game producers is piracy, a problem they will be solving in the future by going partially online. Gamers will still use CDs, but they will have to register online before they can use them. And some firms are planning to update their games at regular intervals, with gamers required to go online monthly, for example, to download new challenges and tasks.
