Sick of obtrusive digital rights management services? A growing number of influential developers are as well, with Paradox Interactive CEO Fred Wester being the latest to speak out against the anti-piracy system.

Hit PC game, The Witcher 2, could have been an even bigger success, if it weren't for rampant piracy, and yet, the studio refuses to implement restrictive protection on their product.

For the most part, DRM is intrusive and annoying for legitimate customers, hardly affecting pirates at all. This is better.

Valve's Gabe Newell believes Piracy has little to do with price - and more to do with service delivery.
