Who says I do? My point was that for the mainstream many titles are not DRM free, DRM free is the exception not the norm. GOG, which I am a fan of, keywords being old games (ones I've already purchased originally, that have nice boxes and the older titles (think 80s) have nice manuals, too) are not representative of many new titles.
I agree that DRM free is the exception. Doesn't mean one has to go along with it. As for GOG, from what I understand they used use that as an acronym Good Old Games, but officially it's just GOG because there are some newer games available now on it (Alan Wake and ARMA 2 come to mind, along with a bunch of newer indie titles and some slightly older games like the newer Sam & Max series). So I wouldn't just class them as all about really old stuff anymore.
Are you telling me as someone whose been an avid gamer for over 20+ years that I should simply rebuy titles I already own? Using movies as an analogy, your argument boils down to not watch any new movies, since the back catalog is so vast?
Heck no, that's not what I mean. Particularly about movies, I'm not saying not to watch newer movies, or even stick with older games. The problem is entirely in the DRM. I'd play more newer commercial games if they didn't use Steam/DRM, simple. It's just that the older games (either by virtue of GOG's modifications or just via their age) don't have DRM because it wasn't around at the time.
To the new comer this might be more appealing. That said, I enjoy many older movies (Big Trouble in Little China I'm looking at you), but I also like newer ones (Skyfall), and there is nothing wrong with that. I suppose you could simply come out and recommend using one of the open sourced Quake engines and play yet another rehash of that game from 1999 or earlier, why, when there are better engines like Source, Unreal 3, games like Skyrim and Minecraft both with awesome mods and vibrant communities?
I guess my point is that if no-one pushes against even light DRM, then it'll be trickle-fed into the next generation and we'll never be able to get back control over how we run our software. People will be so used to authentication, they won't know any better.
The only downside of course is that people want their games and if given a choice between Steam DRM and Half-Life 3... fuck, actually now I'm not sure even I could hold onto my principles in that situation!
