The absurd point here (and in many other cases) is that paying customers get a worse experience than those who pirate.

For some games I've paid for a game but then still pirated it because the pirated copy removed things like unwanted software (uplay, etc.) or allowed me to play offline in a single player game.

I just want to pay for a game but still get a reasonable experience so for me paying and pirating can make sense.

1. Paying customers get worse experience than pirates. 2. Your software lifespan is reduced. (Worst if you use 3rd party DRM). 3. The company pay for something that 99% of the time doesn't work.

So I see the intent, but not the logic
