        Can, but might not. Companies are not notorious for spending effort on products they are abandoning. The only reason they do it with Denuvo is that it charges them a subscription for as long as it’s implemented.

            It is an inherent problem with DRM, because if there was no DRM there wouldn’t be a possibility of this happening.

                DRM doesn’t purge itself automatically. I don’t know how to spell it any clearer but if the problem is that DRM continues to exist, and it is solved when DRM is removed, then DRM itself is the problem.

                And I speak as someone who lost my official purchase of Tron Evolution to outdated DRM.

                I don’t think you are arguing in favor of cracking groups, as much as I’m appreciative of them.

                    Oh boy, I wonder what’s the relevance of being a first-hand witness of what happens when DRM that doesn’t purge itself, doesn’t get removed and loses support. I wonder how differently that would have gone if DRM had never been used instead.

                    Welp, who knows what’s the point of it all. A complete mystery huh 🤷‍♂️

            I think you’re misunderstanding things. You trust these companies to do what is best for the consumer. That’s not how the rest of us, or the companies you’re defending, consider things. Their interest is in the bottom dollar. If screwing you makes a buck, they’ll do it. Trusting them to do the right thing is a major player in enshittification.
