I stopped purchasing DRM games, and have made my game purchasing home here with GOG. If a title becomes available on GOG, GREAT!! If not, it is the company's loss.

And you'll miss out a lot of great games too.

I understand, and I am fine with it. DRM only hurts those that legally purchase a game. I have had so many issues with titles requiring a constant internet connection, or validation through a third party, that I gave up, and found this great site. So now I am playing independent games, or games over 5 years. Until then, companies can keep losing money isolating consumers.

Time not spent on a game is time spent on another game (or on whatever else).

Once again we see that anything that can be locked, it can be unlocked too.. I don't know why it took so long to crack it, maybe because it was actually a hard to crack DRM or maybe the two games before DA: Inquisition weren't popular enough for anyone to care about cracking them.. either way, Denuvo DRM is history... neeeeext! May they see the DRM-Free way and GOG too. ;-)

While there may be many great games with DRM, there are still plenty of great DRM-free games to discover. It's unfortunate that Dragon Age: Inquisition is burdened with Denuvo, but there's Pillars of Eternity to look forward to, for example.

Well done, lads! I'm curious to see a write-up on it.

If the publishers had any sense they would patch the DRM out of the games now, especially since the constant writing to HDD seems to be true. Makes Starforce almost look awesome.

To wear out an SSD on sale today, you would have to write 100 Gb per day for about 20 years.

EDIT: Here's one source for my numbers. There are several. http://us.hardware.info/reviews/4178/10/hardwareinfo-tests-lifespan-of-samsung-ssd-840-250gb-tlc-ssd-updated-with-final-conclusion-final-update-20-6-2013

But how many pubs do it? Unfortunately not many (at least that i know of)... If the DRM was patched out after say one month from the release date, that would affect positively the sales too.. With the DRM cracked, there would be no reason not to remove it as you say. Yet, the reality is different..

The games and their devs/ pubs will miss me too, so we're even. ---

So, the DRM industry is in secret cahoot with the HDD indrustry? ;-P

They thought no one would ever break that DRM LOL, Well it's done it's cracked now lets see when people post videos on the pirated version of the game to the drm one to see how much performance gain they got due to the DRM cutting it in half from what people said.

and I do not support any company who puts drm on games & music anymore it ruins it and makes a better product for pirates and not the end user, Just saying...

I am not saying DRM is needed to hold on to people, I am saying that the person in question misses out on great games if s/he refuses to buy games that have DRM.

I got it and (half-jokingly) replied. More seriously, people make decisions based on what's more important to them - not miss out on every game at the cost of supporting an industry practice they don't agree with as it offers absolutely no benefits to the paying customer and often has only downsides or the opposite. I don't support DRM practices, but don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, as games with DRM are non-existent to me.

The quote was from the comments from the link in the OP and unrelated to your post - I posted it because I liked it.

I agree, he/ she misses them... As i missed Mass Effect 3 due to origin (a little background: Mass Effect 1 & 2 are two of my most favourite games - I enjoyed them very much even though the first has this connect-to-server-to-authenticate-drm) and i've been left with a cliffhanger while i was waiting the 3rd one to kick in.. But i'm ok with that, everything goes on and no one forces me to buy it, even if i missed it..

And if people continue to refuse to buy DRM-full games, maybe will see DRM-Free being the norm someday... On the other hand, if we buy everything we want without complaining for anything, i fear that DRM will stay, if not mutate to something bigger & meaner...
