I ask this question because it seems to me an increasing amount of Publishers are releasing their DRM Steam\Origin, even ubI games on GOG drm free after a while.
So, is it that Publishers understand most people hate their horrible strict/draconian DRMs, but they figured that they can take the hits of ignoring these people, because many others buy anyway?
Then later when their draconian-tied DRM sales dry up, they say, "Ok, let it go on GOG, we`ll make a little extra moolah, at the least!"
Gog were smart, they saw that people were unhappy about these draconian DRMs and saw a large untapped market, unlike the Publishers at the time.
