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 essential.

The bottom line is that you want to play the game without paying for it.  DRM is just an excuse.  If games didn't have it then you'd just find another excuse.

@bolded part:  You'd look a lot less stupid right now had you read the OP.  Go read it now and compare it to your bolded statement.  Feel free to ask if you need me to play "Connect the dots" for you.
