well, think of it this way
@Eirshy it's oppressing my ability to walk in a straight line across a geographic area Also, a castle is not *a castle* unless it is fulfilling its intended function, which means being staffed and operated
DRM makes the game run somewhat worse, I.E taxation
Teleology
Bitch
...are we edging into "I'm not driving I'm travelling" territory?
No
Not even somewhat worse
but it offers fortification against piracy (castle walls)
It can literally prevent you from running the game
if your computer runs like shit
yes

or if the Devs are bad
yeah im fuckin lost ay
It can LITERALLY BLOCK YOU from running the game
are you a pirate?
is this game from 2002?
Most DRM these days runs at least an internet location check
And will ban you if it doesn't like where you're at or you don't have internet access
My piracy days began and ended in the '80s with floppy copies of Wizardry and Ultima
can usually fool that though
okay, are you in uganda?
This check is typically cached for a few days
Am I? No. But what if I went on a trip to Europe and brought my laptop?
if you've got good enough internet to download a game
TOR with proxy; crack easy
you can do the internet check
Oh, and the cracked/hacked version of Castle Wolfenstein to create Castle Smurfenstein
well thats just bad DRM
world's first full-conversion mod
make a better one
get tons of money
That's not just "Bad DRM"
🤷
you've found a problem
THat's literally fucking ALL DRM
solved problems earn cash
BECAUSE ALL MODERN DRM DOES THIS
