What was it... the Brits built castles throughout Wales, one line forward at a time, because the Welsh couldn't bust castles and over time the Welsh civilians acclimated to the English in their towns.
@Eirshy the people who have a vested interest in not having the game pirated are still legitimate users of the game software, though. DRM oppresses 99% of its audience for the benefit of the designer, just like a castle in that regard.
Syria: people forget that Russia's there because the Assad regime provides them with Russia's ONLY Mediterranean port, and losing it would fly in the face of their national aims/goals going back to the goddamn Ottoman era
@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
