Gaming - Good DRM vs Bad DRM - View Post

In my opinion, the only good DRM are online passes. You have to be online anyways. I'm not going to complain about a developer using DRM for the onlinee since it doesn't effect the game when internet is completely gone.  I wouldn't have been able to play online anyways, so doesn't make a difference.  It's good for developers because they can actually make extra money off people who buy used.

Bad DRM is everything else. DLC that comes packaged with a brand new game, on disc DLC, day one DLC or DLC you can be sure that was developed pre launch, online passes that lock out single player content, authentication of discs for use on a console, etc.
