And as Gabe Newell a man who turns just about everything he is involved in to gold, from Microsoft, creating the story driven FPS, turning free mods into some of the most successful franchises in the genre and making the most successful digital distrabution nework in gaming. Is aparently not to be trusted

What are your thoughts on DRM as a whole?
FW: I do not believe in DRM as a method of fighting piracy. Our way of fighting piracy is trying to give more value to people who actually bought the game. We are working on a few projects at the moment that will hopefully be appreciated by our gamers.
Paradox has typically released games with no DRM added. Is that due more to a lack of concern about piracy, or are you more focused on selling the product to potential customers?
FW: Our idea is that installing the game for someone who actually paid for the product shouldn’t be harder than installing the pirate version. DRM also costs a lot in technical support.
