    I agree that you shouldn’t go pirating small indie titles because independent artists becoming more financially successful is the object of the exercise. But a triple-A title is free game to me.

      The only games I’ve ever pirated are the ones that have denuvo DRM ironically, lol.

      Games are cheap to buy if they are good and worthwhile.

      It’s when the studios try and bait and switch us that I have a problem, or purposefully slow down and punish paying customers because they are disabled by the fear of a few pirates by adding worthless DRM.

      I am certain there is not a single Denuvo game that the DRM actually caused them to make more money than simply launching without it…

      People in the industry are being taken for a ride…
