All you need to do is go to the store and buy the game. Then you can buy and play the game. See how easy that is? However, that isn't what you want. You want to play the game but not buy it which is exactly what you are doing. You are enjoying a good or service without paying for it. If you want to protest DRM then do not buy the game and do not pirate it. That is the honest, legal way to protest something which you dislike. The bold point is very ironic to me and since you are not capable of understanding it without having it explained, I guess I will help you. You say that pirating doesn't hurt anyone when the OP is an example of a company struggling to handle the server load of people playing with pirated copies. Had those people purchased legitimate copies of the game, the company likely could have afforded a few more servers and improved the game's experience for everyone. However because of all those people playing with pirated copies the ones who had legal copies suffered. |
I want to play the game but I don't want to pay because of DRM. However, I have a way to play without paying for DRM. What do I do? Yes, I pirate the game, and buy it if DRM gets removed (a theoretical possibility so far I guess, as I haven't heard of anyone removing DRM altogether, only making it less strict about what you can do and what not). Maybe not pirating would be better but this isn't too bad either. I won't miss the games if they make pirating impossible, I'll just play less games. Easy.
And now I got you final point, though I must say I don't think it's going to stay that way for a long time. After all, all those players will realize they can't play online and will probably give up. Then again, I don't stress servers with pirated copies myself as I realize it's mostly useless so that's not my fault either. But I do get your point and must say that I was somewhat right/wrong instead of completely right. About the last paragraph, that is.
