Distant guns worth it?

I heard the game was pretty good but was brought down by DRM. Lots of guys couldnt get it to run after they had switched their systems.

I keep hearing such comments and they dont make sense. Somehwat simplified: minimum p.p.u. = total development cost / number of customers. If we want small companies develop niche products (simulations, historic strategy) we must say bye bye to cheap 50$ game, in fact we might end up with games that cost 100 - 500$. Thats the only way I see this market survive ..
