"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."

Just going on record that Fred has the right idea all the way around on DRM. It's too bad that the big houses still refuse to understand not what they lose to piracy, but what the true cost are of protecting IP at a draconian level is. So many people I know have not touched any EA and UBI pc titles this year on the PC that used to simply due to the problems, real or perceived, that those respective company's DRM packages throw at the end user.
I don't believe in not paying for a game, but I sure as hell don't believe in draconian DRM either.
