There should be DRM. You are able to add DRM to your games,it have penalty and advantages.It can boost up your sales but you will grain less fans(and cost a lot money to develop DRM).It also make your game rating worse.If you made a bad game with DRM,you will lose your fans faster.There have different kind of DRM with different penalty and advantages such as disc checking,serial code and always online to server.
I thought DRM has always been counterproductive? Though it might be interesting to see it in the game…
Oh man… If this got included, I would like to make my company “EA” then…
heheh.
heheheh.
heheheeh.

Oh god, sorry I forgot to censor that…
censoure? lol XD
i didnt know there was an alternate version of censor in any part of the world…
Oh what the
I think it was censure.
Censure? Wow, there is a DRM I think.
DRM has been around as long as the computer has been, and has been used to a varying degree of success or ire of the customers.
I would go into a mini-rant about how frankly kids today have no bloody concept about what DRM is, what it does and they should feel lucky that companies actually give enough of a damn that they sink millions a year into improving the experience for legitimate customers.
But I often forget, this is the internet where Teenagers and Young Adults know absolutely everything about Business and History of practises because they’re heard something from a guy on reddit who saw a youtube video about some twitter that totally knew what they were talking about because of a 2second snap opinion they made.

So with that aside the idea itself.
Personally I’d have to say I do like it, but for the moment I would have to say it would be little more than pointless fluff.
The reason I say this is because of the over-simplified mechanics aren’t really designed in such a way that would allow this to be any more than a simple modifier to either gain slightly more income from released titles with DRM or as a means of reducing the chance of the “Piracy” event from triggering - which already doesn’t really have any impact so you can happily sue or leave pirates alone without it having any long-term consequences to your game.
It was something that left me a little disappointed about some of the updates and changes as well, is things like releasing Source Code is a cool “Event” as a nice throwback to say id Software … or making an SDK Engine is also cool for a little “Extra Income” but really in the grand scheme there eventually ends up no reason not to simply include such features all the time just to game the system.
It would be the same with adding “DRM Features”, either it will be something you might as well always add because it has a noticeable benefit or it will be something that really won’t impact much at all making it pointless.
That is mainly what it all comes down to as well, is the consequences, almost nothing you do in the game has a long-term impact. So yeah as I said, I like the idea… but for the most part I don’t like the idea of more fluff features over some more core changes to the game.
Still there are some mod makers out there tinkering, so perhaps one of them could do something with it.
