Right now DRM is one of those things that actually provokes me into pirating the game. (Steam is one of those DRM systems.)

That's a poor justification for piracy.

"I don't like the way they package their game so I will illegally download their game then play and enjoy it, all without paying."

I'm not trying to justify piracy; I'm just explaining one reason I have. If the game has DRM, I almost certainly won't pay for it but DRM will not stop me from playing either if the game interests me enough. Well, unless they make pirating too hard. And as I said, in general I will support good games (and no, I don't usually complete bad games and then say I didn't like it and thus won't buy it; instead, I just don't complete it and then say I didn't like it).

And, piracy won't hurt anyone if the pirate wouldn't have bought the game anyway. And please do notice the 'if' I put there, it's very es

Id have to agree.   Companies claim all these losses due to piracy yet how many of those people acually would buy the game if you couldn't download it for free.  The current system works fine.  Log the CD key when trying to play multiplayer.  All this DRM crap and install limits stuff is not needed
