Sounds mostly unchanged from what we already have to me. Which bit did you have issue with in particular? There's always going to be some kind of problems with wordings, but that's what the lawyer types exist for.

The problems I see the reddit crew talking about is basically that IP holders have the right to do whatever they want to protect their IP, including destruction of your property.

Having not read the proposal, I don't know if thats people flapping over ambiguous wording (although we all know why wording is made ambiguous!) or whether it just flat-out makes no bones about it.

I use mods in games when necessary; like dark souls, which shipped quite bad wth its 30fps lock etc. I just don't want to be considered a criminal for doing so. Also, if there's drm that severely hinders my performance I shouldn't have to worry about disabling it if I bought the damn game. It all just feels more serious after this new agreement.

You won't be.

If you don't have the spec to run the game with DRM then don't play the game. Bypassing copyright is already illegal, this isn't anything new.

I have what many consider a high end machine and have maintained that for a while. However, there have been many cases of certain forms of drm hindering performance over the last 5 or so years ie denuvo(used in arkham knight, lords of the fallen both games have been high profile messes) which has been known to cause general performance issues and also excessive read/writes on the disk.

So don't play those games. Play better stuff then the developers will realise it's a game buying decision.
