As with governments, they will attempt to use scare tactics to achieve their aims, like the old "But without DRM, no one will make any more games!" line that I must have heard a thousand times. Yet there are developers who do not use DRM, and they have yet to go out of business!

There's a saying, never trust a politician, well the same can be said of game developers and publishers. Most of their claims are simply an attempt to gain acceptance of new policies/schemes, all you have to do is read their DRM Q&A, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Yup I agree. Do it our way or it's all doom and gloom. I'm not buying it (pun intended).
Besides, I think they've been saying pirates would be the end of gaming since the early 80's if I remember correctly.
