DRM Hurts Companies More than Piracy
[url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2013/03/19/drm-hurts-companies-more-than-piracy-developer-argues/]An argument against DRM from a surprising source - a game developer[/url]
This is a hot topic with the recent SimCity problems, but I've never really considered the cost of DRM systems to the developers themselves. I think he makes a very valid point.
What do you think?

1 ReplyMeat Boy guys is totally right. DRM just makes gaming frustrating for the paying customer and doesn't affect the pirate one bit. I'd honestly buy Simcity right now if it didn't have DRM, and its especially frustrating to consider that the game has almost been fully cracked meaning that players who download it illegally will have a more flexible game than those who paid for it legitimately.
