It seems like lunacy to be hitting the back catalog. Sure; you don’t have to care as much about reviews anymore; but that’s precisely because sales are lower now that the people who really wanted a copy probably have one; and it’s not like the DRM vendors work for free; so this is costing them.
Extra weird because the people you are worried about don’t even need to crack the DRMed copies if there were already clean ones in the wild; so you can’t expect much success with ratcheting up the DRM level after the fact; even if you’ve found something unbreakable.

So should I, the paying customer, deserve a worse experience than the pirates?
Quoting Gabe Newell, relevant as always:
“The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.”
