Good write up. But besides us few sensible folks the majority doesn't care. They play games like watching movies in a theater, for them its just a consumable. For us its more than that, its the same logic with movies, those who love the medium buy DVDs the rest forget what they watch after their first watch in a theater. DRM affects us who truly love the medium and wish to preserve it. I think the simplest case I can argue is, most of the obscure psx and ps2 titles would be unplayable if emulators did not exist. And games like No One Lives Forever, Wolfenstein 2009 would be unavailable and fade off into obscurity if it wasn't for piracy.
If the publishers or developers release a DRM free version of the game 1-2 years down the line on GOG or something, I honestly wouldn't care about Denuvo or any such rubbish. But unfortunatly games are just products which are used to make money, actually scratch that. Games are just 'services' for the publishers to make money now.
