    I’ve personally ditched most gaming as a result, same as I mostly stopped following media after DRM became a thing a decade or so ago. I wish more people did the same, because interacting with people while being intentionally unaware of popular culture is difficult

      DRM has existed since the DVD era. I think there were even several attempts with VHS before that.
