Actually I think the cartoon is rather funny and probably quite realistic. Most will travel the path of least resistance.
Bottom line is some of the most "
seasoned" subsimmers are.. shall we say "
unhappy" with this whole DRM thing.
This whole piracy thing is hogwash... we all know that everything gets pirated or knocked off.. from Gucci bags to jeans to video games. So give it up.. DRM will not stop or slow down the wheels of "hacking" or whatever you want to call it. If I could tell you how many "pirated" movie dvds I have seized over the years, the number is staggering. I have friends who work for NYC sanitation that havent had to rent or go to the movies for years because of seizure "rewards". And in the face of thousands arrests nothing has stemmed the tide of the waves of pirated stuff.
So will it prevent or prevail?... or will be just another PITA kinda like childproof lighters, pill bottles, doors etc. Only time will tell.
I firmly stand on what I know.. SH3 GWX is the greatest subsim I have ever played. If it has to be the last one I ever play.. so be it.
Sorry in advance...
