Pirate software is insufferable. He's obviously not very socially capable. But primarily he is an idiot.

I don't care how good he bbelieves himself to be at programming, he is undoubtedly better than me, but he is just as undoubtedly a complete moron. All of his justifications for DRM are invalid, ESPECIALLY for single player games.

Any sort of DRM or even anticheat running on the user's machine only hurts honest people just wanting to play the game how they want to. It never hurts dishonest people.
