Kudos to Ars Technica to interviewing the Devil. The comments section of that post is *not *kind.

I read the article and they can hire all the reviewers they want, but my experience with DRM is not a positive. I haven't gained any benefit from it, but instead barriers to getting the game to work when I want it to. Even more so since getting a steam deck, and now going periods where I don't have internet access.

The benefits of no DRM versus DRM have become even more prevalent since then with games just working with no additional work arounds to renew the license for games that don't have DRM.

These pitches of DRM not being a negative are corporate ones. Why should I care about whatever excuses they make when the only concern for me is one as the end consumer. They are only selling points to me if I'm a customer of denuvo or an employee of denuvo. I am not being paid enough to try and spin my negative experiences with DRM as a positive.
