I'm just going to say something neutral on all of this, I'm not supporting any side on any discussion anywhere.
Simple fact: EON (Nenad Asanovic) an artist that to me will always be in the top 5 ever, an artist I have personally several times paid a membership, and always paid the highest VIP membership when I did that, since starting his anti-piracy DRM, has not increased much his paying supporter number, on average.
I'm simply saying I have not seen consistent proof that DRM increases the profit of any game.
I'm not trying to argue with anyone. Don't take this as some political statement.
The additional work of establishing a good DRM anti-piracy protection may not result in considerable increase in profit.
Having said this, I respect every ones opinion on this controversial, and 100% subjective topic.
Instead of anti-piracy, a better change (that may be very much impossible) would be to have an in-house F95 payment (or some other website obviously...) that would remove any percentage cut from the profits these companies are the middleman of.
That would be maybe better for the artists. Given that I have not seen myself an increase of 10% for Nenad's profit, but I bet Patreon takes approx 10% out of Nenad's profits.
Just a personal opinion, no need to take it seriously.
