"This is plainly irrelevant."
"Then you must have a response!"
Wrong.
Thing is, it's not irrelevant?
"People deserve to get fucked by DRM."
"No."
"But what about their operating system?!"
This is trolling.
I'm not interested.
If people buy games with DRM and don't update their OS to the point where it hasn't received a security update in years then hell yeah the problem is the consumer, not the company shutting the door to potential security issues!
From day one, the problem is the DRM.
When a company forcibly updates a product so oven the versions that would work fine on your machine, don't, that's not your fault.
When that company actively prevents you from running the version your machine could plainly still run, as well (and safely) as it did yesterday, that's an abuse.
