This honestly sounds like the perfect distribution model. You get the game, IP holder gets paid, no one is bothered by DRM. If you don't want to pay because you don't want to pay, well that's up to you.
Like I'm kind of confused by the premise of your argument and excuse me if I got it wrong but certainly you're not saying if you pay, it better have some kind of DRM?
Look if i'm going to buy torrented and cracked files owned by whatever billion dollar company has vacuumed up a 1000 ip's in a go I at least want to know 0 effort has been put into packaging the game and that all I'm doing is buying a pirated version of the game with other peoples stuff resold without credit or reimbursement. Like cracks and mods they package into these releases.
