What exactly would have happened if N3V did not use DRM at all ? <-- That is the question
Would the pirates and hackers have gotten the game for nothing ? (As they already have done so by easily hacking, torrenting, and bypassing the DRM of N3V servers).
Would game sales have peaked at only a mere 1000 customers ... and all the rest would be thousands of pirates and hackers (something that has already happened, despite the use of DRM).
If N3V gave us the actual DLC files so that we could save them to our downloads, what would have happened ? I still don't see why N3V installs the DLC assets for us, and N3V doesn't trust it's paying DLC users to handle these DLC files ? Why are these DLC assets controlled by DRM, and are only handed out by N3V to its paying DLC users, on a rotating 30 day period, and if not re-authenticated each and every 30 days, they are disabled for the paying DLC customers. I just don't get it ... why the use of DRM on it's paying customers ... WHY ?
Phil_C effectively locked all his assets, and you can't clone them, get inside them, nor trade them ... And he didn't use DRM
What exactly would have happened if N3V had not used DRM ? I see very little that would have been affected, and changed, if DRM was not used by N3V in the past ... and even less if N3V stopped using DRM today, and forever forward.
