[QUOTE=Jack Trades;32144743]If something can be accessed it can be hacked. That's why piracy can't be stopped by current DRMs. The only thing DRM really does is that it doesn't allow (if it's a good DRM) pirates to play on Day 1, until crack is released and it serves as an idiot cull, sort of, stopping people, too dumb to find and apply a crack, from playing it.[/QUOTE] Even if there were no DRM, it would probably take a while to get the torrented version up.

Nice story, liked reading it.
Nice job portraying pirates as criminals when you meant to do the exact opposite.
I love how DRM is just like it doesn't exist in my country. Most people ignore it and pirate the games anyway.
Bad thing everyone in my country are like "Why should I buy it if I can pirate it?". And even MP is not a problem due to abundance of cracked servers. So yeah DRM doesn't do shit
