These two things give our species a sense of continuity and the industry's persistence to throw its past away like used condoms is wasteful. I think there's value in revisiting your legacy, and experiencing something familiar again, just as much as their is in new experiences. Now, I know there are people who scoff at the idea that someone might still want access to something they paid for a decade down the road but as someone who still boots up their old PS2 games just as often as a new game, the value does exist for some of us, and I worry that the younger generation will have much less access to their younger days than I do. In short, it makes the likelyhood that you'll be able to play a game you like 10 years down the road much more implausible. You only need to look at any game which required GFWL and didn't have the common decency to remove it when that went belly-up to get a real-world example of this. The number one thing is that they greatly decrease a game's shelf life and can make games impossible to play once the DRM servers no longer function. Then there's the long-term damage invasive DRM does to games. Some of these things are less commonly experienced than others but all of them have happened to people in the last 5 years. The short-term damage DRM services like denuvo do to a consumer range from requiring you to have a non-metered connection to be able to play your games, to bogging down game performance (proponents for denuvo will tell you it doesn't do this they're lying, and denuvo's removal has seen games increase performance significantly to prove it), to behaving like viruses and causing your AV to flag them as such, to even compromising your system's security and actually giving malicious people an opening to hack you through their always-online connection.

Why do you guys care so much about DRM? If you arent doing anything f*cked up, whats the point? It's a useful storefront for browsing without opening chrome.Īlso, this game is only going to be tied to steam, right? It isn't going to have anything like denuvo in it? Just seeking clarification.
