...they need better DRM / more anti-piracy laws / more digital thugs to canvas the internet looking for pirates ...? /s

It's funny how quickly stupid 17 year old me back in the 80s figured out that it was all just a pointless arms race and piracy would never subside until games got affordable. I always told myself I would go legit once I could afford it and I did. That was games. Same principles apply.
