The PC is becoming less and less attractive to game Dev's because they know that they are guarantied to loose money.

I may not have this right or not but, isn't this illegal? It might not be, but for some reason I just think that this isn't going to be legal in some way shape or form. I don't think I have all the facts but don't they have to get your consent or something for a thing like this? witch they will most likely do something like a contract when you buy the product with this installed. Wait a thought just came to me, wouldn't games have to support this? that wouldn't be much of a problem for them just change some stuff around but couldn't that also detract alot of PC gamers who(like me) are in a situation with no money for buying games or having to get a new motherboard just to play the lastest game out because it will only work with a mobo that has TPM installed? so IMO this is a BAD idea umm..

Second, they assume that pirates will suddenly start buying all of the games that they download. That simply isn't true. Video games in general are too expensive of a hobby for legit, hardcore individuals who like to try a bit of every game in order to find what they like. For example, I generally wait until someone I know has bought a game so that I can try it before I buy it, and even then I have to really enjoy the game. Specifically, I borrowed my friend's computer to try Sins of a Solar Empire and Orange Box. I liked Sins, but not Orange Box. If I had bought them, I'd never heard of Sins at that time, but I had heard of Orange Box so I probably would have bought that and never had the chance to try Sins. What's worse, I would've been unhappy with the purchase, because Orange Box is okay, but Episode 2 and Portals do not off set the $60 cost of TF2. Third, the thing killing PC gaming is neither game cost nor piracy. It is the fact that in order to stay up-to-date in the PC gaming world you have to be constantly moving and upgrading. If some part of your computer is too old in comparison to the new parts, then your experience will still be diminished. Furthermore, sometimes particular components, despite being recent and powerful, simply do not work with some programs. The hassle and cost of *upgrading* is whats killing PC gaming, because on a console you buy your hardware once, you don't have to deal with or purchase any upgrades. If you do they are simple to select and acquire, involving no installation of inevitably non-compatible drivers. For the average person, this convenience is well worth the initial cost and the limitation on extended usage.

Impossible doesn't exist with data and hardware. And I highly doubt it uses CIA class algorithms. “which is uncrackable by people on the internet”
