I remember one moment where I knew that I would be without internet for a week, so I bought and downloaded a few singe player games. Only for some of them to require an internet connection because of DRM.
I used my phone for internet so I could pirate them, and you wouldn’t believe it but I could suddenly play them offline. I never bought anything from that publisher again.
I’ll name you 10:
Street Fighter 6,
Star Wars Squadrons,
Star Wars jedi survivor,
Persona 3 Reloaded,
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown,
Like A Dragon Gaiden - The Man Who Erased His Name
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Persona 5 Tactica
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Assassins Creed Mirage
DRM has never stopped me from pirating a game, but multiple times it stopped me from buying it.

I mean, it literally stops you from pirating uncracked games.
Name 3 uncracked games.

Edit: The first three games I listed came from the subreddit mentioned in the article.
I for sure play HL cracked days after release. I haven’t touched the others though.
