    Yep. DRM has been and continues to be a complete waste of everyone’s time that only makes things worse for paying customers. Pirates get the best experience and then companies wonder why they struggle to get people to pay for inferior experiences. Gabe Newell hit the nail on the head over a decade ago when he said:

    The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

    Instead companies keep doing the exact opposite, and surprise piracy isn’t impacted at all.
