Orkhepaj: Best would be if these companies would keep games drm-ed for a limited time only ,like 1-2 years.
Far better if the copyright law was updated. Games don't make companies a lot of money outside the first couple years, then it's just random sales, second hand or with digital, a looooong tail. This also is the same for music, movies, etc.
70+lifetime is way too long. If copyright was dumped down to say 20 years again (
the original length) a lot more games would go public domain, a lot fewer companies would be able to sit on franchises/catalogs forever and become lazy, and perhaps with games involved it would be required to include the source in with the game (
perhaps an encrypted archive, which also includes a compiled non-DRM version).
