I can't figure out if Raven is just trying to troll us.

Look at this:

I for one liked it better when gaming was the domain of shut-in outcasts, it meant that games were made with passion, not money. Shit like C&C4, IWnet and the Ubi DRM would never have been though of. Starcraft 2, MW2, BFBC2 and BlOps would all have had LAN support and the latter two would have been bug free. The entire concept of porting would never have had the chance to exist. And much, MUCh more. "Vote with your wallet" is the popular term, I do that, and I take it one step further by retaliating the only way I can.
Do you really not realise that the reason Ubi DRM, SC2 with no LAN etc. exists is because you pirate the games? If noone had ever pirated games, DRM would not exist. You claim to pirate games because of restrictive DRM, but restrictive DRM exists because you pirate games. Your argument is circular (read: stupid).

Come on now Raven, just be honest. If those Ubi games had no DRM whatsoever, you still would have pirated them; are you really going to try and pretend otherwise? Your one and only motivation is not paying for something you can get for free without consequence, everything else is just fluff and rationalisation. It's the same thing I said in the article - if you're going to pirate, at least be honest about your reasons.
