I'm allowed to read my book in the bathtub or in the seat of a plane. I'm not entitled to scan it and upload the result of this action in any form without involving the author.
^ this is common sense and gaming companies currently have so little, it's pathetic. they'd rather see people litter the planet with 4 different PCBs and plastic of the current gen consoles than arrive at common sense.
I agree that DRM is stupid. There are plenty of examples these days where DRM went away and nothing fell apart. iTunes Music Store, GoG, region free discs.
Still clinging to DRM is regressive. And they are hypocritical, because DRM like the one this post deals with are regularly removed from the game after a period of time.
DRM doesn’t work.
