what how god how do you think corporations work? do they have magic money trees?
we, in conglomerate, purchase THQ, give their games away for free and then what, fire all their developers, close all their studios and sell all the buildings, revelling in our destruction of the future of gaming so everyone can gave some games today for free?
there was much better discussion on this topic on reddit.

So instead of purchasing some games, gamers could've purchased THQ, and released the games for free and without DRM.
