As an Anti DRM Gamer who really does not buy Games featuring Boot/RootKit i wonder if itd be possible to consider somehow a Ban against Denuvo, VM Protect and all these other Bullshit DRMs that go into your System and arent just tied to some kind of Online Service like the Steam Store for Example >.>
Would that even be feasable in the EU considering that we got osme Stricter Laws than lets say the US regarding Multi Media Content :P

    people are definetly “voting with their wallets”, myself included

    as always with stuff like that, only a minority cares, so a solution must be workable by a minority who does.

    so if the solution for the problem is “if only people just…” then it’s not effective.

        they are, that’s precisely my point.

        it’s just that it doesn’t work and expecting it to is a waste of time.

        we’d need another strategy.

              It is 100% effective. The fact that it’s not working indicates that they’re not doing it. They’re not going to keep doing this without a viable path to profitability.

                    if i had that answer you’d probably be seeing me as some kind of leadership on it.

                    though legislative pressure is a good place to start, my country is currently in the process of banning lootbox type stuff, and some of the data collection in games.

                    not perfect but definitely a step up from the free market “the consumers decide” crap that isn’t actually yielding any results.
