I love how the invocation of 'DRM' is an instant third rail to a lot of young gamers today. Just another buzz word issue on the checklist of hipsters to be against automatically out of context.
While DRM diminishes the value something has it doesn't make it entirely off-limits. It depends on how much per month is required. If it's only $5 then, quite frankly, who gives a rat's ass about the fact that it's just the next step in DRM.
Anyone who instantly rules out spending money on something just by the mention of DRM is a moron -- it boils down to the relative cost versus the scope of the DRM. Of course, if the subscription is $20+ then screw it.
