What do you mean by DRM here? Are you saying you need to be able to pirate it?
No, lol. I really dislike this mentality people have that wanting no DRM = "Pirate! Burn her at the stakes!". DRM, first of all, makes games [defective by design] (https://www.defectivebydesign.org/). It's an anti-feature which literally only harms those who pay, because pirates will always find a way around it. Additionally, DRM causes some more-than-noticeable performance issues. I can't support a publisher who makes games with this thing they implement just to fuck us over some more.
