Well that's not true... I'm sure they have to deal with traffic jams, migraine headaches, and annoying coworkers, just like the rest of us. ![](//www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/awe.gif) > Name one (home) video game pre PS3/360 that hasn't been cracked because of DRM?
That's kind of the point, trying to lock down software with some kind of stand-alone DRM scheme is pretty much doomed to failure. If the game itself is required to talk to your servers to function, however, you have a much better chance of detecting cracks and shutting them down, as well as updating your code to combat any workarounds implemented by the pirates. I wouldn't be foolish enough to ever say anything is uncrackable, but it's far more effective than any stand-along DRM scheme will ever be.
