Hammerfall: Spiting yourself by not playing a game in your favorite franchise due to an inconvenience = epic fail.
DarrkPhoenix: As someone who has passed on quite a few games due to the DRM they use, let me explain my reasoning for doing so a bit. To put it simply there are more games out there than I have time to play, and on top of that my time is limited and fairly valuable to me. Thus when deciding which games to spend my time and money on a factor I consider is whether something about the product could cause problems or waste my time. Many forms of DRM have the potential to do this, to various degrees. So I balance out the potential for DRM to cause problems with how much additional enjoyment I'd expect to get from a game over the other games I could also get, and in many cases simply come to the conclusion that the DRM simply doesn't make the purchase worthwhile. It's not a matter of spiting myself to try to make some kind of point, it's simply a matter of valuing my time and being a sensible customer.
I completely understand that standing.
But what I don't understand is when people will skip out on a game in their favorite franchise due to something as harmless as having to download steam or use battle.net... It doesn't benefit anybody.
