Do I need to buy multiple games to be able to play Diablo 3 with my wife?

Question

I know that the account is connected to your Battle.net account(I already have one through SC2 and she doesn't have any yet). I am buying the game tomorrow and I wish to know if one CD is enough. I doubt that Blizzard would allow this as this will obviously make them lose some sales(if a group of friends pool their money and pass the cd around and then play with just one cd alone).

Which brings me to my question:

• does it need a CD to play?(SC2 doesn't so hopefully it doesn't also)
• do i need to buy 2 games? I find it a waste of DVDs especially since you probably don't need the disc to play the game.
• is there like just a license purchase of some sort? Kind of like just buy an D3 account or something? Or do I have to buy a digital copy?

Answer

Yes. Diablo 3 does not allow offline play. If you want to play with someone else, they must each make it past the log-in screen... which means you will both require a separate copy and associated Diablo 3 licence.

Also of note is that you may only have one Diablo 3 per Battle.net account, so your wife will need to set up an additional Battle.net account to be able to play with you.

If you purchase a physical copy, however, you will be able to share the installation disk, but Diablo 3 does not require a CD to run.
