Whatever it is, it's simply dumb and totally Disney style.

Is it dumb though? Why should they care about Linux users? Really, how does it make sense for them to spend time on it?

It sure is, because it will be broken and pirated either way. So what did they achieve? They simply lost paying customers, nothing more.

It totally makes no sense to spend any time and resources on DRM. Instead, they should start offering video DRM-free for sale, not just for rent.

The reasons they are pushing this junk are political. As was well explained here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/introducing_gogcom_drmfree...

Also, surprising to see so many here on HN endorsing DRM junk and those who push it on everyone.

If you don't like DRM, why do you want to buy/rent Disney stuff from the company that invented and bribed Congress to create modern Draconian copyright law?
