Let me guess - You're from a reasonably large urban center, in a developed country and you're solidly middle-class with a comfortable economic life. It is a stretch - but I can guess that you're an American (as you guys seem to fear, rather than look out for, your neighbors).

Is any of this correct? How far off am I?

I don't know obout others, but I live in Brazil, I'm not rich, and if someone can build a system that will run OK CoD, MAYBE this consumer can afford some internet connection to activate a game...

If you live in a rural area of Bangladesh, you have other major problems to deal than "intrusive DRM". We aren't "snob", just pointing that the MAJORITY of people whinning about DRM aren't poor people... It's plain clear.

Simple as that. Is more a "moral' problem, and I agree with the criticism about DRM. DRM sucks. But isn't a "poor x rich" issue.
