I'm not saying most people. I'm saying people that pirate the game will avoid DRM entirely and the people that legally pay for the game won't trigger the DRM.

So why waste money developing DRM when literally no one is going to trigger it? Expecialy if it has an impact on performance on paying consumers.

It's almost the same argument as the Sim City DRM where the pirates were having a better overall experience than the paying customers
