Patching in new DRM years after launch seems unlikely to impact pirates, but actively harms legitimate users who play on Steam Deck or mod games they paid for.
And here’s why being sarcastic was the right choice. Pointing out the witnessed practical material consequences of DRM is just being “emotional” because for whatever reason you think I’m not allowed to be upset about what I lost, which you have given no argument to prove it doesn’t happen, or how to prevent or revert it.
Funny how you quoted every single line except this part

I only quoted the relevant parts of your comments that I replied to. This one I replied to about 12 comments up. Just as a reminder, since you seem to have forgotten, I said “It’s not an inherent problem of DRM because it’s not a requirement for it to have DRM forever.”

You can’t simply scratch it to DRM, when DRM alone doesn’t take games away from customers either. Company neglect is required. You need both.
