Yea, I agree. My main point was that you can't get blood from a turnip. I don't think DRM will change sales (or even affect them that much). Those who can afford will continue to play what they normally play, and those who can't afford will just opt out of playing PC games that they can't pirate. I perhaps misread your original statement as saying "people won't pay, so they get DRM." I don't really think this is the case. I think this kind of DRM is inevitable as a natural loss prevention measure(whether the threat to profits is imagined or real), and I think games that don't provide enough content to mitigate the hassle of DRM (real or imagined) will suffer regardless. D3 sales will be huge, and SC2 sales were too. I'd hate to see someone draw the conclusion that it's the DRM selling these products. edit: In light of your response I see now exactly what you meant in your original post.
