And here's why being sarcastic was the right choice. Pointing out the witnessed practical material consequences of DRM is just being "emotional" because for whatever reason you think I'm not allowed to be upset about what I lost, which you have given no argument to prove it doesn't happen, or how to prevent or revert it.

Funny how you quoted every single line except this part

we can still access games that were abandoned by the developers just fine, as long as DRM doesn’t get in the way

Which points out that you can't simply scratch it to company neglect, when neglect alone doesn't take games away from customers. DRM does.

How forgetful of you to miss that part, after being so confused about what you might have glossed over.

Oh well, anyway goodbye.

As I just explained in the comment you replied to, since you repeatedly refuse to provide any other explanation or justification, I'm left to make assumptions. You're totally allowed to be upset. "Upset" is an emotion and not an explanation for why you provided a personal anecdote.

Funny how you quoted every single line except this part

I only quoted the relevant parts of your comments that I replied to. This one I replied to about 12 comments up. Just as a reminder, since you seem to have forgotten, I said "It's not an inherent problem of DRM because it's not a requirement for it to have DRM forever."

Which points out that you can't simply scratch it to company neglect, when neglect alone doesn't take games away from customers. DRM does.

You can't simply scratch it to DRM, when DRM alone doesn't take games away from customers either. Company neglect is required. You need both.
