tort1234: To vast majority of honest gamers with nothing to hide, DRM is not even an issue.
Gaming since 1986, and I've pumped well over $25,000 in hardware and software into this industry, long before it was considered an industry.
Now, I don't need an internet cookie or anything like that since hobbies cost money, but it would be nice - after dumping a shitload of money that could have gone into dozens of other hobbies - that the industry would not continue to operate on the automatic assumption that I'm going to steal their stuff. I think that over a span of 29 years of gaming I've shown that I'm a buyer, not a pirate.
Further, would it be a problem if a DRM-laden client locked me out of my purchase simply because I choose not to agree to the newest EULA for the client - NOT the game's EULA, but the client's - which was instituted after my purchase? Yeah, that happened, and yeah, that's an issue with DRM.
Next time Steam wants to update the client and asks you to agree to the EULA, just click No and then try to play your games. Now do you understand why it matters to folks like me?
DRM is not an insignificant matter to our gaming hobby.
I should note that one of today's releases is cheaper on gOg.
