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?

Maybe the bigger issue here is that games have gotten too big. Games are starting to cost as much as blockbuster movies and taking the same manpower. Eventually, it won't be possible for games to recoup their investments in sales alone. I think gamers and the industry would be better off focusing on fewer games.
