Well, either I don't know what planet you are living on kind sir, or you aren't aware of the fact of existence of p2p protocols nor steam cracks. In best case (from this point of view) DRM just blocks some part of content available for logged in players. Otherwise DRM is nothing more than uncomfortable idea that hurts sales and profits for the devs. I haven't heard about ppl buying a game because it has DRM in it, while I have heard many ppl not buying some games because they are only available with DRM. Some pirates wouldn't buy specific games anyway, while others just because it incorporates DRM.

OP is an idiot and a thief! Because people like YOU steal games, we get crap like this. It's literally your fault, you have done NOTHING except reassure developers that steps like this needed to be taken to protect their products. And here you are, complaining about said precautions. What next, are you gonna send them a box with your crap in it and expect them to pay shipping too? Gonna go to a grocery store and steal a pork tenderloin just to TRY it?

I wouldn't say we're pointing out an excuse for pirates, rather a cause of such behaviour. Simple as that.
And as for the thievery:
