This is just one point, but I started pirating games during college because of DRM, after whatever they used in Spore destroyed Windows so badly I had to do a full reinstall and lost a bunch of stuff. Before that I reliably bought all my games.

I don't pirate games anymore, but that's only because I stopped playing computer games entirely and stick to consoles, to avoid DRM screwing with my stuff.

I’m not trying to be rude here but going from PC gaming to consoles because you dislike DRM is like buying a sports car because you think trucks pollute too much.

It depends on whether you object to the concept on principle or to the negative impact on your computer. In the latter case, his actions make total sense.

I don't think he's saying to avoid DRM, rather to avoid DRM on his computer, which playing via console would do.

[arcticbull]

Consoles are all about DRM aren't they?

[Izkata]

Sure, but more importantly: consoles aren't the computer I do everything with.

[tommek4077]

Yes, but they would not ruin his PC again.

Afaik both Sony and MS (yes, even MS) do some internal QA before allowing a game to be published on their consoles.

Plus they don't allow (single player?) games to require registering with the publisher. So on the rare occasions I'm interested in a game from the top user hostile AAA publishers, I get it for console.

Consoles are DRM.
