It's not always about the performance impact...DRM has been known to restrict and prevent legitimate gamers from playing the games meanwhile those that sail the high seas ignore the useless DRM and continue to play.
I had a CD-burner that was wrecked by DRM, back when they were expensive.
preventing legitimate gamers from playing a game they bought in anyway is inexcusable to me. I dont even want to sign into your "social club" or download another launcher. If i have to put in one more address and password than necessary I'm much more likely to get an illegitimate copy.
