Good find cappy
Here is an excerpt from waaay down the bottom.
In a refreshing break from the standard video game industry propaganda, a pair of maverick PC developers offer some straight talk on DRM to
Gamasutra's Paul Hyman.
Ron Carmel of
2D Boy (
World of Goo) believes that the major publishers are beginning to back off on the use of DRM following consumer outrage over its use in games like
Spore:
I definitely believe this is all the result of a change in the public perception of DRM, a sort of grass roots uprising. Gamers are much more vocal about it than they used to be, perhaps because they are so accustomed to downloading music without too many restrictions.
But Carmel also relates DRM to the battle over used game sales currently being waged between video game publishers and retailers:
Publishers aren't stupid. They know that DRM doesn't work against piracy. What they're trying to do is stop people from going to GameStop to buy $50 games for $35, none of which goes into the publishers' pockets. If DRM permits only a few installs, that minimizes the number of times a game can be resold.
