iD Software thinks forcing always-on DRM a good idea

regardless of whether we like it or not this is where gaming is headed... to increasingly annoying measures for security... the funny thing is that this process is being accelerated more and more by the reactions from devs to people who hack and pirate games and yet there are gamers who defend these hackers even though their actions are making things worse for gamers as a whole

Taking that mentality is like if you blame the Communists for the military coup de'tat in Brazil in '64. Overreaction that hurts everyone is a poor response to a problem limited in scope

lol what a bizarre analogy... why would you think i'd know of that coup? i never studied brazilian history

but regardless i don't like the idea of these measures being put into place either but i can understand where the devs are coming from when they entertain these ideas... i'd be pissed too if people were stealing stuff that i worked on for months or years scott free
