    I don't agree. Good games (and bad ones unfortunately) with crappy DRM get bought all the time with decent sales figures. Understanding that a customer bought the game solely for lack of DRM sends a sign, especially if they get enough emails indicating as such.

    I know a guy who works at Ubisoft and they actually DO read their emails and take those into accounts, not just their sales figures so an email showing your appreciation of the lack of DRM would probably make them consider it as a good move.

    Most good devs and publishers DO listen to their customers. They'd be stupid not to. Giving them what they want is how they make money. Granted the megaconglomorate that is EA seems to be dead to this, but the money they make from recycling sports games year after year doesn't help us at all. If everyone just stopped buying EA's sports games for ONE year, it would send a clear message. I mean, why not buy last years for $20 anyhow? It's probably 95% the same.

    Agreed - good publishers do listen to their customers and respond to feedback.
