Alright, so let's try changing the name of DRM, as it's become a bit of a negative phrase and sometimes changing the name allows people to see things in a new way, so here goes... Let's instead refer to it as 'Fairy Dust' or perhaps 'Unicorn Tears'.

So, has there ever been a major (not niche) title published, that has been sprinkled with fairy dust that has not been pirated? Because I just don't believe sprinkling fairy dust on a game will protect it from pirates - it's like some sort of weird belief system. How much is fairy dust per pound and why are we, the legitimate purchaser, paying for fairy dust, if it doesn't work?

As for the fairy dust used on SH5, then if it's the dust from the same fairy that AC2 has, then the fairy dust won't be of any use to anyone and will again be a complete waste of money on the part of the publisher once the AC2 fans have blown the fairy dust off the game. Why do they keep wasting money and bumping up the cost of their game (or alternatively eating into their profits) by sprinkling things with fairy dust? It's like an old wives' tale. Fairy dust is paid for by the legitimate buyer and is completely useless.
