"No one should have to purchase a product that they’re unable to install because of the DRM. There might be other reasons, like the compatibility isn’t correct, or whatever. But people who purchase a game should have just as easy a time as those who pirate the game, otherwise it’s a negative incentive to buy a legal copy. And I just can’t see why people are using DRM still. If you take something like Sony’s DRM, SecuROM -- it’s a waste of money,"
says Paradox CEO Fred Wester. "It will keep you protected for three days, it will create a lot of technical support, and it will not increase sales. And I know this for a fact, because we tried it eight years ago, and it never worked for us. Two major reasons: it costs money and it makes you lose money, and the other is that it’s so inconvenient to customers."

What pisses me off is this comment:
"Fred Wester: I’m so surprised that people still use DRM. We haven’t done that for seven or eight years, and the reason is that it doesn’t make sense."
He's talking about how they never use DRM in the link and yet all their games have Steam DRM on it. I call foul. Most people are ok with Steam to the point where they don't consider it DRM since they are rarely inconvenienced by it. It's not correct but it just goes to show the power of making meaningful trade offs with the consumer instead of having a fuck you all, take what we give you attitude. |
