If buying and consuming DRM-protected media was easy and fast, then it would mean that DRM is not working as intended. Because then it would be easy and fast to copy the file, and even if it'll always be possible to pirate one way or another, they'll try to block it anyway and these restrictions will impact paying customers 99% of the time.
No matter what happens, the ones who pay will be the ones who pay.
Why do you think Netflix is restricting offline viewing? It would be so convenient to download first and watch it during travel when Internet connection is impossible or too expensive, but no, that's why I don't have Netflix anymore (it's been a while). I've heard they've allowed it since, but I'm not getting Netflix again.
- cypress66 4y agoIt's easier and a much better experience to buy games on steam than to pirate them. And you can play them offline too. The exception is maybe Denuvo, but steam warns you on the purchase page if it uses Denuvo.
- ta8645 4y agoI'd prefer to have the option to give or sell the used games away after playing them. You can't give a Steam game to a friend after you've played it, and you can't pass your entire game collection on to your heirs when you die. But you don't own anything, and you're happy -- which apparently is meant to be the new normal.
