Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

    Again, the developer chooses to work with these publishers beforehand, right?

    have you ever been employed anywhere in your life? have you ever had to pay bills, rent?

      Yes, of course. But what has that anything to do with employees? Developers are not employees, they are the developing company.

        what? that's just false, developers are people, they are employed to develop the game, usually their employer is the game studio.

          i think what he means is that the "developer" has the power because he "develops" the games and without him the games can't be "developed"

          it's a silly way of mistaking a role for the individual that fulfills it. the role is necessary... not that particular individual
