Bethesda isn’t impressed with Skyrim leaks

[Necuno]

Unfortunately, even with both parties playing nice, we have the publishers (the table in your analogy?) being overbearing and pushy with DRM.. See The Witcher 2 as an example. The dev's didn't want DRM, released the self-published version without any DRM, but the boxed versions that came via publishers had DRM.

You do know that the DRM was removed at end of the day?

Yes, by the very first patch released by the developer. It was their intention all along to release sans DRM, and they were only forced into it by the publishers.
