Quotes

and thought, "I wonder what this would sound like as 8-bit Atari or Nintendo music?" Probably not...
"Quite often the DRM slows the game down, as the wrapper around the executable file is constantly checking if the game is being legally used or not. That is a lot the legal users have to put up with, while the illegal users who downloaded the pirated version have a clean–and way more functional!–game. It seems crazy, but that’s how it really works."
