    In this case the problem is not even DRM, it’s that the game was entirely streamed from a cloud service. People buying that technically never had the game on their device and were always dependent on a server that would be shut down eventually.

    This is the future big tech companies want. Not owning anything to the point the game doesn’t even exist on your device. I say fuck them.

      That’s a DRM, you do not own the copy of your game, you rent it and don’t even run it on your hardware. That sound pretty Digital Restrictions Management to me.

      DRM is not about a file or a security, it’s about control and restrictions which big corpo calls: rights.
