But when heavy-handed DRM's and corporate shovelware and services that actively remove content I pay for makes it a shit experience. I'm gonna just torrent that shit

The annoying hurdles are what get me. I've cracked a lot of the games that I own because I hate forced updates, going through an additional client, or being asked to sign in for another service that I won't use.

I once had a valid office key... But since I reset my computer to often the amount of "free activations" was used up... There where so many hoops to jump through to re-activate it that it was easier to get a cracked key to activate my office version... That's just sick

That kind of related: when mostly single use software works off of a subscription model versus just being available for purchase.

Jep I hate the, "you don't own anything anymore" mentality... There are some valid reasons to actually provide a subscription, but most of the times it should just be a one time payment
