Step 1: Understand all forms of DRM

Step 2: Deep dive on the game at a technical level

Step 3: Make a decision

Some people can’t even manage step 3 effectively, and you expect them to follow through with steps 1 and 2?

Not to mention “Dad can I have [game] I really really want it, it looks so fun and it’s all I want for my birthday” “Sorry Billy, but that game is anti consumer and locked into an always online DRM system, and I’m just not willing to support that.”

Like, c’mon. That’s just not how the world works, and we’ve known that for decades. That’s why consumer protection agencies exist.
