      DRM doesn’t purge itself automatically. I don’t know how to spell it any clearer but if the problem is that DRM continues to exist, and it is solved when DRM is removed, then DRM itself is the problem.

      And I speak as someone who lost my official purchase of Tron Evolution to outdated DRM.

      I don’t think you are arguing in favor of cracking groups, as much as I’m appreciative of them.

          Oh boy, I wonder what’s the relevance of being a first-hand witness of what happens when DRM that doesn’t purge itself, doesn’t get removed and loses support. I wonder how differently that would have gone if DRM had never been used instead.

          Welp, who knows what’s the point of it all. A complete mystery huh 🤷‍♂️

              I have been finding out that tiring my fingers with people who only pretend to be discussing but gloss over what’s being said is a waste of time.

              I’m acting like an ass because you are acting like an ass. Isn’t it obvious how relevant it is to bring up how DRM personally affected me? Do you actually have a reason to say why losing a game I have bought isn’t actually the fault of DRM, or are you just going to pretend it doesn’t matter? Be it me or anyone else, we can still access games that were abandoned by the developers just fine, as long as DRM doesn’t get in the way,

              If you are gonna repeat yourself with “Once again you have it backwards” don’t even bother. If you really mean to talk it out, don’t avoid the point.

                  And here’s why being sarcastic was the right choice. Pointing out the witnessed practical material consequences of DRM is just being “emotional” because for whatever reason you think I’m not allowed to be upset about what I lost, which you have given no argument to prove it doesn’t happen, or how to prevent or revert it.

                  Funny how you quoted every single line except this part

                  we can still access games that were abandoned by the developers just fine, as long as DRM doesn’t get in the way

                  Which points out that you can’t simply scratch it to company neglect, when neglect alone doesn’t take games away from customers. DRM does.

                  How forgetful of you to miss that part, after being so confused about what you might have glossed over.

                  Oh well, anyway goodbye.
