I did not claim that people want games to be free of charge. Why do you think I did?
Again, I know that’s your position but why should I share that position? I’m alright with not owning the game, alright with losing access if the servers go down. It’s ok for me, I don’t care.
Yeah, sorry, I thought you meant it from the following:
Even after understanding perfectly what Steam’s terms entail I still think that buying games there is a good idea
Either way, in general the justification for DRM is to reduce piracy, but it doesn't do a good job IMHO -- for instance, I can find DVD-quality pirated movies two weeks after it has been released in theaters, far faster than the availability of said movies on DVD or Blueray.
What would work better is to stop punishing honest customers and educate people about the need of the industry to have profits.
For instance I go out of my way to buy the music albums of my 3 favorite bands, just to keep them producing the music I like. And one of them has been in business since 1977, being able to survive for 3 decades, while dozens of others have died after 1 or 2 years, complaining about piracy (like the non-existence of piracy would make their music suck less).
