As it stands, you can get many games on Steam, Stardock, Direct2Drive and other services, but has that changed piracy much? It's a moot point, because the publishers will keep trying to put DRM in place "just in case". The question today is whether that DRM renders the game unplayable, like Settlers 7.
- roel_v 16y agoThis doesn't make sense. If there were no piracy, no publisher would put in DRM because it's an extra cost which no rational business owner would make if there weren't a need for it. Fact is that most people need to be kept honest with a way to enforce the license terms. Has been like this since the beginning of the commercial software / media market and I don't see a reason why it would change.
