I think he should see how hard it is to get setup selling on Steam. It's not crack-proof either, but I get the impression that single-player games are still selling pretty well there.
I also saw this recent announcement from Valve that sounds interesting to help work around this: http://store.steampowered.com/news/2372/ http://store.steampowered.com/news/2372/
But it does sound like more DRM, albeit a different take on it.
- chops 18y agoIt is a form of DRM, but the delivery mechanism is just so easy that's it's worth the tradeoff. Any game you ever install through Steam is remembered by Steam. Format your computer? No problem, Steam will reinstall all your (Steam) games for you. No need to dig around to find the install discs. It's the opposite of EA's DRM. EA's DRM makes life harder for the legitimate purchaser. Steam's DRM actually makes life easier for the legitimate purchaser.
