Fuck DRM: Defcon

So I decided to fire up Defcon for the first time in ages today. The DRM decided that I didn't want to play it. Amongst the things they suggest you try to fix this are: Delete your authkey file, disable your firewall, verify the cache integrity, delete and reinstall the game. All things that your average user could do, obviously.

Even more annoying is that on the same screen as this error there is a message from the devs stating that the authentication problems are fixed. I've got a better idea, stop fucking about reinventing the wheel, use the DRM that's available to all steam games and let me blow up the world god damn it!

Update: It seems to be working now, days after the urge to play has gone. Seems to highlight the problem with DRM quite well. Why is an additional piece of software deciding when I can play a game that I've paid for? Surely that should be my choice!
