I am incredulous as to the results of this study, but wanted to hear Lemmy's take.

If I am unable or unwilling to purchase a game (lack of funds, ethical concerns, etc) and I cannot pirate it or get it heavily discounted then I do something very simple and efficient.

I just don't play it. There are heaps of great games out there, new and old, that I can put my time into instead.

Many of the games that pack Denuvo these days are AAA trash that I wouldn't play anyway.

AAA studios can't put anything out worth playing to save their life, with the rare exception.
