    Why do publishers still bother with DRM?

    DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. I was always under the impression it was a bunch of vodoo and hacks that made pirating a game a pain in the ass. I'm guessing 90% of the potential PC customers don't actually care about the DRM. The 10% that're left are vocal but not necessarily...
