I used to think the whole "piracy and cracking is essential for preserving games" argument was ridiculous and a silly justification, but lately I've become more and more worried about how things will turn out. I've had a ton of fun recently playing the DRM free versions of awesome old PC games from GOG like RollerCoasterTycoon and POD, and I definitely don't want a future where I can't play my favorite games 20 years from now because a DRM company doesn't exist anymore and my game can't authenticate with some random servers. But I guess there isn't much you can do about it, and there aren't many PC exclusives these days so I guess there are always physical copies on consoles for future-proofing...



To be clear, I definitely think piracy and cracking is wrong, but I also worry for the future now that it seems to have been solidly combatted.
