I make an argument that already made sense 5 years ago, and as still does.No, perhaps it's a slippery slope up there somewhere. And perhaps we slid down it at once point.
You're making an argument that would have made sense 4 or 5 years ago when stuff like this started happening. It's a bit late to make a stand now. The horse has bolted.
Constantly online DRM is the slippery slope now - Steam is the reasonable alternative.
I simply have done what you say : took a stand and stopped walking down the alley of ripping-off. I was just aware about it much sooner than you were.
And simple CD-check aren't a thing of the past, nor is intrusive DRM an inevitability. There is still plenty of games that are reasonable on the copy-protection part.
