I hate DRM. I believe DRM only punishes the buyer, not the pirate. It always has been the case. The same with DVD movies with all the darn previews, trailers and warnings which are pointless because only the legitimate buyer sees them.

However, the issue is that I want to play these DRM games, so I am forced to suffer DRM or not play these great games.

The Pirates almost always bring out their DRM-Free games before the game stores bring out the legitimate versions, and I'd be surprised if this new DRM changes that. So again, the legitimate buyers will suffer later release dates, and pay for DRM that makes the game experience less enjoyable, while the Pirates simply enjoy the game.

Doesnt make a lot of sense to me and seems more like encouragement to Pirate.
