To put it quite simply.... I bought one game back in late 2000 which had the Starforce DRM system installed on it. The whole experience was a disaster. Since then, I quite simply refuse to purchase anything with this supposed industry saving copyright protection; and I am not the only one. Just go read through gaming forums - there's a pretty harsh backlash agains DRM out there. Thank god for Valve's Steam system - means I can happily buy DRM free games whenever I feel like it.
