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.

Starcraft II won't have crazy DRM. Macharius - 28/05/2010 01:59:14 PM 1111 Views
Could be worse. I'm still miffed about its release structure, though. I feel milked. Zalis - 28/05/2010 03:01:54 PM 738 Views
Still a load of shit. Wibble - 28/05/2010 06:39:46 PM 762 Views
I'm pretty anti-DRM, but one-time connection seems reasonable enough. Aemon - 28/05/2010 07:03:24 PM 692 Views
Don't get so excited, sheesh. Macharius - 28/05/2010 11:04:47 PM 771 Views
I'm not excited. Wibble - 28/05/2010 11:18:40 PM 695 Views
Go start your own game company? Really? That's the only response? Cymbaline - 08/06/2010 03:49:33 AM 725 Views
Even just a single authentication? Nate - 08/06/2010 05:00:38 AM 690 Views

I have to agree... the more restrictions and hassles they put on playing purchased games BlackAdder - 09/06/2010 05:37:40 AM 652 Views
Who doesn't have the internet these days? Nate - 09/06/2010 06:08:19 AM 694 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 702 Views
I think he was saying ... Nate - 10/06/2010 03:10:08 AM 659 Views
I agree entirely with you. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 04:37:07 AM 657 Views
Aha. Nate - 10/06/2010 04:57:14 AM 716 Views
Good point. Now why is my argument so terrible? BlackAdder - 10/06/2010 04:20:15 PM 690 Views
You act as though I need to fairly represent your post. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 11:53:47 PM 658 Views
