Gamers are not criminals and they do not need DRM

See, DRM is one of the main reasons why I don't buy Ubisoft and EA games anymore cause I really don't understand the logic... Like, if I buy a game, I should be able to play it without any issues but what does Uplay and Origin do? Nope, our servers are offline, you can't play shit, we know you paid $60 for it but please go fuck urself while we slowly get our servers back up 2-4 weeks later... Like Fuck those companies...

I mean, my issue isn't really the idea of DRM cause yes, IPs need to be protected against bad people but what I hate is when DRM gets in the way of the consumer and that really pisses me off! Steam does it right, its a DRM that works and when it doesn't, you can still play the games! I hate companies that do bad practices such as this and if I have to miss out on some of the games once a while, so be it... And tbh, I don't really care that much about Shitfield 4 or Crap_Dogs and etc...

Don't you miss the days when you could pop in a dvd/cartridge and just start playing.  No logging in, no updates, no patches, ect.

If your lucky you get to blow into the cartridge and system first.  I miss that.

But some games still let me just pop in and play, or double click icno and play.  Nothing is more infuriating than having to open up steam or origin or something to play a game I own.
