I have had a DRM problem, with Silent Hunter III. The StarForce program did...something...to my CD/DVD drive making it impossible for me to use it for watching videos and rendering installations from CDs and creating audio CDs a very slow process. Uninstalling StarForce restored full capability...but I had to contact the company to get an uninstall program, which should not have been necessary.

I've also had issues with Mass Effect and other 'be online to play' single-player games. I live in an area with no DSL or cable internet service. Wild Blue was a godsend to me in many ways as dial-up in my area run at 14.4 K on a good day due to some very olllld phone lines in my neighborhood, but as with any satellite-reliant equipment, I can have sunspot issues or be unable to connect when the weather is windy or storming.

Which means that I couldn't play some newer games when it was raining. That's...unacceptable to me.
