    DRM doesn’t purge itself automatically.

    It doesn’t have to.

    I don’t know how to spell it any clearer but if the problem is that DRM continues to exist, and it is solved when DRM is removed, then DRM itself is the problem.

    Once again you have it backwards. If the DRM is removed then the problem you cited never existed and there’s no problem to be solved.

    And I speak as someone who lost my official purchase of Tron Evolution

    I don’t understand what purpose your anecdotes are supposed to serve here.

      Oh boy, I wonder what’s the relevance of being a first-hand witness of what happens when DRM that doesn’t purge itself, doesn’t get removed and loses support. I wonder how differently that would have gone if DRM had never been used instead.

      Welp, who knows what’s the point of it all. A complete mystery huh 🤷‍♂️

        God forbid you should actually explain it rather than acting like an ass and ignoring the question.

          I have been finding out that tiring my fingers with people who only pretend to be discussing but gloss over what’s being said is a waste of time.

          I’m acting like an ass because you are acting like an ass. Isn’t it obvious how relevant it is to bring up how DRM personally affected me? Do you actually have a reason to say why losing a game I have bought isn’t actually the fault of DRM, or are you just going to pretend it doesn’t matter? Be it me or anyone else, we can still access games that were abandoned by the developers just fine, as long as DRM doesn’t get in the way,

          If you are gonna repeat yourself with “Once again you have it backwards” don’t even bother. If you really mean to talk it out, don’t avoid the point.
