Main reason I am never buying an Ubisoft game or Diablo III, those are probably the highest level of bullshit DRM in Single Player ever. And just because I said I usually pirate doesn’t mean I don’t buy any games. I do have quite a few on Steam etc.
It’s just that generally, new games either have DRM that’s waaaay crappy or are seriously overpriced (let’s take Prototype 2, I enjoyed the game, but it only has a single player mode and if there are goig to be any DLC they won’t bring anything more to the story, so the price they want for it is just too much in my opinion)
I hope you’ve never encountered a game protected with StarForce… it’s horrid.
I heard of it, it was for some reason commonly used in Poland. Polish version of Prince of Persia Warrior Within used it. The funniest thing was the crack for it, you literally had to disconnect any physical CD/DVD drive from your computer. But to actually play original copy with Star Force? Luckily never.
