Steam would be a good example. It is DRM in the sense that it prevents people from simply copying the game folder anywhere, and it is more convenient than pirating (at least most of the time) with the advantages of things like pre-loading most of the files before the release date, and offering fast servers from which to download your game.
- Saavedro 14y agoIncidentally if you copy the game folder to a friend who has actually bought it, say you've all bought a game for a LAN party, but not all of you have good connections at home, that -does- work, which has proven super convenient for me on more than one occasion.
- Ntrails 14y agoI did not know this, and it makes me love steam just a little bit more.
