Petition: John Tiller - Remove DRM Kharkov 43

[Volcano Man]

I'm rather surprised at how easy is it to be dismissive of someone else's $40. Given the economic environment, the individual's unknown income source and an equally unknown how much disposable income they have; it seems a rather rude response. $40 x however many games the individual may purchase down the road could be quite a tidy sum invested. Couple that with the fact JTS has implemented a DRM system in order to try and stem the loss of money through piracy seems to be rather onesided in viewing the monetary transaction.

Yes, $40 is a lot, especially if someone is buying a new game every week (who would be doing that?). However $40 every... six months? Is that a lot? If that were the case then games across the gaming industry would be $10 each according to the law of supply and demand. $40 could be rent and food money to someone. It could mean the difference between life and death. However, $40 can also get you only 14 packs of cigarettes to go up in smoke, two tanks worth of gas for your car, two meals at a nice restaurant, or two Blu-Ray movies that you might watch twice in your lifetime.

Someone allocates their own money accordingly, so if said person is spending tightly invested money on games, then that person probably shouldn't be gaming in the first place.

I suppose somehow what I just posted will be contrived and twisted into something terrible...
