I treat anything that is DRM-encumbered as a rental, and make buying decisions accordingly. It is not something I own, and I do not expect to be able to use it beyond a certain time horizon (a year or two).
Same goes for DRM-protected books or music.
- npsimons 14y agoSame here; only difference is, I don't rent books, music, movies, games or software. Sell me a copy, or lose a sale.
- TillE 14y agoYep. For any game with severely limiting DRM, the maximum price I'm willing to pay is $5, which I deem fair for an indeterminate rental with no guarantees. I think Assassin's Creed 2 has been down to $6 a couple times on Steam sales, but I'm not quite willing to put down even one extra dollar. Oh well, their loss. Meanwhile, I've spent a couple hundred dollars on Kickstarter games in the recent past, all of which promised a DRM free option.
