Digital Rights Management (DRM) - good or bad for games and gamers

Digital Rights Management (DRM) 

A great read on the topic of DRM and how it affects the games industry.

For years publisher have used locking codes, digital codebooks, encrypted discs, and software rootkits in attempts to thwart game piracy.

But the only people really affected were the legitimate consumers.
The simplicity of access and lower price points actually makes it more likely that a consumer will be willing to pay for a game, and therefore will actively discourage the illegal pirating of the game.

Nikki Sixx

Nikki Sixx is my idol, all devil may care, self confidence, ego and talent.

His music, words and images speak to me about love, loss, life and show me that I am not alone in this struggle called life.
