1 year agoI wouldn’t say that it’s evil, but rather it doesn’t exist for the benefit of players, it exists for the benefit of corporations. They know that it hurts performance in games and prevents a lot of people from playing games that they’ve legitimately purchased, but so long as it’s preventing some piracy they do not care.
IT doesn’t need to be good at stopping piracy as long as it stops some piracy, or at least as long as they can sweet talk executives into believing it makes a difference.
