I think it was caused by DRM (probably), since the game kept writing a lot of data to my SSD because it checked online often. Writing a lot was the issue. With games that don’t have DRM, it’s simpler to pirate without it. It doesn’t really stop people, but...
You can share the flexibility with a friend. It works even when your internet goes down. You also avoid worrying about compatibility across different devices—no more dealing with MSOffice restrictions or yearly fees.
You have control over creating your own backups, running the game without ongoing online login after the first download, and sharing it freely. Some digital rights management systems can be quite restrictive and disrupt gameplay even for paying players. While needing Steamworks DRM isn’t a huge hassle, it still demands an account. Even with the best options, DRM generally adds value by expanding your choices.
I haven’t found any DRM that blocks offline play. Probably not because I tested every option, but I’m doubting this one. Also, having multiple copies on five PCs worked fine without the DRM complaining about DRM.
This means certain types of digital rights management are not functioning properly.
