I feel like people are making this out to be a way bigger deal than it actually is. I don't understand, what control are you worried about losing? I've played many games over the years (including those that have modding support) and I can't think of an instance where I was restricted by DRM, or even considered which games do or don't have it. They removed it after there was a massive community backlash, but it's still worrying that they even tried. It runs in the background of your PC and collects all sorts of data unrelated to the game, including stuff such as web browser activity. Red Shell is spyware that 2K tried to slip into KSP. Also, given how easily most DRM schemes get cracked by pirates, there's little to no evidence it actually does anything to stop piracy. The purpose of DRM is ostensibly to prevent piracy, but many people are opposed to it because the presence of DRM means you can't have control over a game you bought & paid for running on your own computer. For example, most game store clients such as Steam are a form of DRM because you can only launch the game if Steam allows you to. My friend must be confused, what is DRM/RedShield and why is it bad? He is so dumbÄRM is basically any kind of software that restricts when/how you can use it.
