There hasn't been a game in existence that couldn't be hacked and distributed by pirates. DRM only inconveniences and fucks over genuine buyers.

Diablo 3 is one of the top selling PC games of all time with over 12 million sales and has always online DRM.

It stops piracy for a while, on release, when it matters. Also, it stops most normies from pirating, making it too shaddy. They could just remove DRM after some time tho
