Agreed. There is plenty of clear un-arguable bottom-line evidence that combating piracy boosts sales and thus revenue for the developers. I know one vgame publisher who fixed a hole in their DRM and saw a 40% increase in sales the next month.
People love to whine about any form of DRM, even though 99.99% of those whining will never experience any problems at all. Everyone knows someone whose friends brothers cousins mate once had a game not start because of starforce, but the vast majority of people who whine about DRM are people who pirate games anyway, and to be honest, they can just fuck off, because not contributing at all to the market for games means nobody in the industry gives a fuck what they think.
the minute you pirate a game you forfeit any right whatsoever to bitch to the people who make, sell or distribute the games about any topic whatsoever.
