Personally, I dislike DRM and am disapointed that few companies realize that it is impossible to produce an unbreakable DRM system (you have to produce an encryption format which allows the receiver to "read" a message without allowing the receiver to "read" the message) but I won't waste time complaining about it. If the problem is as easy to fix as you claim it is then I think that these people's complaints are unreasonable though ... |
Exactly. It may be easy-ish to fix in this case, but there will be at least some problems with the service forever, especially after Xbox 360 or Live support ends. DRM in general is bad precisely because it is certain the issues of hardware-locking, random denial, support ending causing problems and overly complex distribution systems, and it still doesn't deter the knowledgeable pirate to a large extent.
