The publishers logic was DRM simply interferes with genuine sales as the people that hack take breaking copy protection as a challenge and would never buy it anyway. It worked for them.
The recent fascination with DRM is simply the result of too many accounting and lawyer types who tend to be control freaks conniving their way into executive positions in big corporations  |
I have pirated games in the past and those were games I wasnt really interested in and never really played them much and would never have even bought them in the first place so the publisher never lost anything anyway. Any game I really wanted I purchased because I knew that any online play with a pirated copy usually never worked.
