Sadly I think because of a culture of piracy PC gamers have brought this situation upon themselves. DRM is now a necessary evil I'm afraid, with some forms being more acceptable than others.
Any single person on here who has ever downloaded a game illegally has no cause whatsoever for complaint. While obviously everyone will protest 'I didn't do it!' and that may well be so, fact remains that someone (and that 'someone' is Legion) is doing it. Honest people are now being inconvenienced for this now, so hope you are pleased with yourselves.
Its the smaller Devs like 777 Studios and Olegs lot I feel most sympathy for.....and they are now being forced to measures which they would no doubt rather not pursue in an ideal world.
People have a right to protect their Intellectual property, as much as they have a right to defend their home; its that simple. Heres a quick analogy; You have just spent 6 years of your life restoring a 1911 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost to its former glory, everything as it should be, a labour of love. Maybe you'll sell it on to a third party later, maybe not. Then some little b*stard sneaks into your garage in the dead of night and wheels away with it Scot free down the road.
All that hard work for nothing. How would you feel? I'm guessing you wouldn't be too amused. I don't like DRM, and I definitely feel sympathy for those who have problems with it for no fault of their own.
Because of people who think they are somehow entitled to something for nothing however, it is here to stay. That's the way it is now unfortunately, deal with it.
