I don't care what your background is, how can people support this? I guess loyalty does wonders for companies and governments, no matter how wrong the cause is.


Why would I let something that has no negative impact on the way I play games bother me? I should refrain from buying an Xbone because little Timmy in rural Kentucky doesn't have stable internet and can't figure out how to go into his phone settings and tether it to his Xbone? I should turn away from some of my favourite game franchises like Halo and Forza because of DRM? I still buy movies and music and I don't fully own those either. As long as I can play and enjoy them that's what's important to me.

If the company goes out of business (Steam, Microsoft, etc) then how will you be able to play the games?  Granted they could release a patch right before their collapse that unblocks all the DRM or whatever.  Anyways, imagine a future apocalypse where you are powering your TV, video game console through a generator and there isn't any internet.  How are you going to play those games if they are DRM to internet connection?  Granted my scenarios have a .0001% of chance of actually happening.  How about this scenario though...  Your city is struck by a huge disaster (although your house remains).  Internet services are down and you can't play video games.  Granted you probably have more things to worry about then playing a video game.  Hand helds are superior to home console systems in terms of playing after disaster!
