Civilization V
Alex C:
That's pretty much how I feel about it. I understand and sympathize to an extent with the people who often face DRM headaches, but for whatever reason I've always gotten away unscathed on that front. It makes it hard for me to passionately run with the "DRM is a scourge" narrative.

Anything added to the game for no reason that hurts or is detrimental to people who actually buy the game is enough reason to hate DRM.
The kicker is that pirates don't have to deal with the same DRM that hurts these consumers.
Do you see why this is ironic?
Personally, I'm fine with DRM like Steam because it comes with a host of other features such as downloading any of your purchases on any computers as many times as you like. That's useful to me personally because I hate keeping physical copies lying around for me to lose. Games such as Ubisoft's Assassin Creed 2 or Settlers 7 have torrents out that pirates are playing, yet, some consumers aren't able to play the game because of Ubisoft's DRM. I'm rambling now, so I'll stop.
TLDR : DRM sucks for consumers and doesn't bother pirates. Steam is currently the only acceptable DRM, imo.

Unless you are me, apparently.

Retail Collector's Edition for Civilization V shown off.
If I was still a miniatures that would be well worth the extra cash. Of course that would also assume that I wanted a physical disk.
