The problem is all these companies keep trying ridiculous anti piracy methods that barely slow down the pirates (if at all) and cause legitimate consumers problems. I would be far more willing to deal with crazy DRM measures if they actually worked at all, but they don't.
Now they want to stack targeted advertising and impulse buying to their list on top of the DRM problem they refuse to address at all. Basically I'm down to only gaming on pc. I actually got an Xbox controller for it so ports would play more smoothly. I'm also pretty much exclusively on steam now as it's been the only DRM that seems to actually function without interfering with my game experience.
The Steam box may wind up taking some market points against the odds because of how all this is playing out.
