DRM is the new form of slavery - but it also spies on you. - conversation with a gamer After years of perceived-rampant piracy on the PC, game publishers are beginning to shackle gamers with increasingly intrusive DRM systems. However, recent game news headlines are brimming with failures of these measures. Cracks either get released weeks prior to street dates, or systems fail and prohibit legitimate buyers from running their games. Even worse, these systems can easily be used to siphon the personal information of gamers and potentially cause them major pain. This presentation will show an overview of what is out there in the game DRM space and dive into specific issues. These issues detail how game platforms and their DRM systems create a goldmine of personal data and can be easily used to mess with legitimate gamers.
