    Cyberpunk sold well. Kingdom Come Deliverance sold well. Launching without DRM does not absolutely annihilate sales.

        And how much worse would they have sold if they weren’t DRM free? You can’t assert they would have sold better without actual data, and there isn’t any available. But in the case of cyberpunk specifically, made by cdpr, the company behind gog, I can safely say that if they had DRM they would have instantly alienated a significant portion of their fan base.

          Your own link you previously posted says that they would have sold approximately 20% more, remember?

          The company that owns the store can take the financial hit of putting their own game on their drm free store, because they make aren’t having to pay other stores fees, and they’re drawing attention to their store.

              I’m clearly more academically literate than you are, but nice try.

              Your own link proves you wrong.

                You read so well you’re reading conclusions that aren’t presented! Actually read the fuckin link, it doesn’t say anything other than what it says and you’re some sort of ideological defender of DRM so you’re bad faith twice. Fuckin lemmy pigeons playing chess.

                  I’m not defending DRM you clown, I’m explaining to someone with the IQ of a dripping tap why no one does DRM free.
