Not everyone is sufficiently willing or knowledgeable to break laws and pirate video games. DRM is not excessively effective, but it does deter some people, and it allows companies to go after pirates via the DMCA.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Starcraft II won't have crazy DRM. Macharius - 28/05/2010 01:59:14 PM 1072 Views
Could be worse. I'm still miffed about its release structure, though. I feel milked. Zalis - 28/05/2010 03:01:54 PM 707 Views
Still a load of shit. Wibble - 28/05/2010 06:39:46 PM 723 Views
I'm pretty anti-DRM, but one-time connection seems reasonable enough. Aemon - 28/05/2010 07:03:24 PM 654 Views
Don't get so excited, sheesh. Macharius - 28/05/2010 11:04:47 PM 723 Views
I'm not excited. Wibble - 28/05/2010 11:18:40 PM 659 Views
Go start your own game company? Really? That's the only response? Cymbaline - 08/06/2010 03:49:33 AM 691 Views
Even just a single authentication? Nate - 08/06/2010 05:00:38 AM 655 Views

I have to agree... the more restrictions and hassles they put on playing purchased games BlackAdder - 09/06/2010 05:37:40 AM 613 Views
Who doesn't have the internet these days? Nate - 09/06/2010 06:08:19 AM 659 Views

That's just a terrible argument. If they have no Internet, they can't illegally download games. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 02:18:34 AM 671 Views
I think he was saying ... Nate - 10/06/2010 03:10:08 AM 628 Views
I agree entirely with you. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 04:37:07 AM 626 Views
Aha. Nate - 10/06/2010 04:57:14 AM 676 Views
Good point. Now why is my argument so terrible? BlackAdder - 10/06/2010 04:20:15 PM 652 Views
You act as though I need to fairly represent your post. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 11:53:47 PM 628 Views
