As the games industry continues to expand and innovate, understanding the complexities of DRM technologies, their impact on their distribution, and the ongoing debate between security and user experience is critical. This article delves into the various aspects of DRM in games, examining its importance, technological advances, and finding the optimal balance between protecting developer rights and maintaining player satisfaction.
The master of protection
DRM – the guard of your creation
Digital Rights Management (DRM) refers to a set of technologies used to control the use, modification, and distribution of digital contents. DRM aims to prevent piracy by ensuring that only authorized users can access and play the game.
This is critical for the gaming industry, which suffers significant revenue losses due to illegal copying and distribution of games. By implementing DRM, game developers can protect their intellectual property, ensuring that they receive fair compensation for their work. This, in turn, supports the development of new and innovative games.
Undenied Impacts of DRM
DRM plays a crucial role in protecting game developers’ intellectual property by embedding security measures within the game software. These measures can include encryption, online authentication, and anti-tamper technologies that make it difficult for unauthorized users to access or distribute the game, stopping them from stealing content online.
By preventing piracy, DRM helps developers recoup their investment in game development, incentivizing them to create more content and push the boundaries of game design and technology. Without DRM, the financial viability of many projects could be jeopardized, potentially stifling innovation and reducing the diversity of games available to consumers.
DRM has evolved significantly since its inception. Early methods included physical dongles and simple key-based systems. As internet access became more widespread, online activation and verification systems were introduced. The rise of digital distribution platforms like Steam marked a significant shift, with more sophisticated DRM technologies being implemented to protect digital game libraries. Over the years, the gaming industry has seen numerous DRM strategies, each with varying degrees of success and acceptance by the gaming community.
Innovations and Advancements in DRM Technology
Over the years of development and optimization, DRM solutions have had many improvements to serve copyright protection needs such as:
Denuvo
Denuvo is a highly effective anti-tamper technology that has become a standard in AAA game releases. Denuvo’s technology makes it significantly harder for hackers to crack games, providing strong protection during the critical release window. You can see most of the game nowadays, including Red Dead Redemption are incoporating this technologies into their gameplay.
Cloud-Based DRM
Leveraging cloud services to manage game licenses and user authentication. Cloud-based DRM can provide more flexibility and security by storing sensitive information on remote servers rather than on the user’s device.
Blockchain
Exploring the use of blockchain for secure and transparent digital rights management. Blockchain technology offers the potential for decentralized DRM systems, which could provide greater security and transparency for both developers and users.
A whole lot of technologies
The gaming industry employs a variety of DRM technologies to secure their products. Common DRM methods include online activation, serial keys, hardware-based protection, and software encryption. Each of these technologies has its own set of features designed to verify the authenticity, ensure it is being used in accordance with the terms of the license. Some of the most widely used DRM technologies in gaming include:
Online Activation
Requires the game to be activated through an online service, linking the game to a specific user account or device. Which pretty mean that you only able to play if you’re paying for it.
Serial Keys
Involves unique keys that must be entered to activate the game, often combined with online verification to ensure the key has not been used multiple times. Furthermore, on some special solution, the key can be change gradually to furthermore protect the game.
Hardware-Based Protection
Uses specific hardware components, such as dongles, to verify the game’s legitimacy. This method is less common in modern gaming but is still used in some specialized applications.
Software Encryption
Encrypts the game’s files, making it difficult for unauthorized users to access or modify the content. This method is often used in combination with other DRM technologies to provide multiple layers of security.
DRM Policies on Major Platforms
Real Practice of DRM you didn’t know about
Major gaming platforms each have their own DRM policies and practices designed to protect games and ensure a fair distribution of digital content:
STEAMWORKS
Steam actually uses a combination of online activation, software encryption, and account-based access.
Steam’s DRM system, also known as STEAMWORKS, provides a suite of tools for developers to protect their games, distribute and manage their product on the market.
STEAMWORKS Official Page
PlayStation Network
Employs a mix of online verification, content licenses tied to user accounts, and hardware checks. Games purchased through the PlayStation Network are linked to the user’s account and console, preventing unauthorized distribution.
Xbox Live
Implements similar DRM measures as PlayStation, with a focus on online authentication and digital licenses. Xbox Live requires users to connect to the internet periodically to verify their game licenses in order to play the game.
Nintendo eShop
Officially, in 2022, Denuvo is coming to Nintendo Switch games in an attempt to block users from emulating games on PC.
Relies on user account linking and online checks to manage game access. Nintendo’s DRM system ensures that digital purchases are tied to the user’s account and specific hardware, which can complicate game sharing and reselling on PC.
In fact, there have been many cases where game developers have applied DRM solutions to protect game content copyright and achieved many remarkable results. Here are some of the most notable result around implementation of DRM:
Steam
Its combination of user-friendly features and robust security measures has made it a leading digital distribution platform. Steam’s approach to DRM, including features like offline mode and family sharing, has helped balance security with user convenience.
GOG.com
Known for its DRM-free approach, GOG.com has built a loyal user base by prioritizing user rights and accessibility. By offering DRM-free games, GOG.com has attracted users who value ownership and the ability to play their games without restrictions.
Ubisoft
Ubisoft has refined its DRM strategies over time, balancing security with user experience through continuous feedback and iteration. Ubisoft’s implementation of flexible DRM policies, such as removing DRM from older titles, demonstrates a commitment to customer satisfaction.
User Experience and Implications of DRM on Different Gaming Platforms
The user experience of DRM can vary greatly across different gaming platforms. On Steam, users appreciate the convenience of cloud saves and game library management, but may be frustrated by the need for constant online activation.
PlayStation and Xbox users benefit from robust online ecosystems, but DRM-related restrictions on game sharing and resale can be contentious. Nintendo’s DRM can sometimes lead to issues with accessing digital purchases across multiple devices, affecting user satisfaction.
Each platform’s approach to DRM has its own set of trade-offs between security and user convenience. Some users may find the DRM measures to be an acceptable compromise for the benefits provided, while others may view them as overly restrictive.
Impact of DRM on Distribution, Piracy Prevention, and User Access
The Bright Side of DRM
DRM significantly impacts game distribution by enabling digital platforms to control the access and distribution of games. It aids in piracy prevention by making it challenging for unauthorized copies to function correctly. However, DRM can also affect user access, sometimes causing legitimate users to experience difficulties, such as needing a constant internet connection for offline games or facing compatibility issues with certain hardware. The effectiveness of DRM in preventing piracy is a subject of ongoing debate.
While it can deter casual piracy, determined hackers often find ways to circumvent these protections. Moreover, DRM can sometimes lead to negative user experiences, such as difficulties in accessing purchased games or performance issues caused by the DRM software itself.
The Challenges approach!
Although serving the noble need to protect the game and the publisher’s intellectual property, DRM also leaves many mixed opinions in the community, such as:
Consumer Rights
Critics argue that DRM can infringe on consumer rights, limiting how and when users can access purchased content. Some DRM systems restrict the ability to resell or lend games, which can be seen as unfair by consumers.
Technical Issues
DRM systems can cause technical problems, such as game crashes or performance issues. These problems can arise from the additional software required for DRM or from conflicts between the DRM system and the user’s hardware or operating system.
DRM services often run in the background and consume device resources such as RAM… affecting the gaming experience of consumers. Base on how the system work, even high-performance devices still cannot minimize this delay, and it is even more absurd on low-end devices.
Whether or not copy protection applications affect performance is also a hot topic of discussion online. Typically on Reddit, when gamers hated Denuvo because their DRM caused performance issues for their games.
DRM systems often track how players use the game, including how much time they spend in the game. This information can be used to apply time limits or other restrictions, and user hate that they can’t spend more time with their game. Take World of Warcraft for example, this massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has had many time limits in the past, such as daily quest limits and raid locks. These restrictions are designed to prevent players from overloading the game’s servers and encourage them to spread out their playtime. As a result, players are more likely to use a version without DRM to bypass these issues, simply cracked or piracy app as a better substitute.
Piracy vs. User Experience
While DRM aims to combat piracy, overly restrictive measures can alienate legitimate users, leading to negative reviews and decreased sales. Finding a balance between preventing unauthorized use and providing a seamless experience for paying customers is a major challenge for the industry.
The on-going solutions
For user
For consumers, there are many ways to solve the DRM problem. The simplest is to use software that supports free games today. Many applications such as Steam, Epic Game, Humble Bundle or GOG mentioned above, all provide free games without any interference from copyright protection solutions. Therefore, players can freely use them without worrying about the system being stalled by DRM.
For users with higher demands for using famous copyrighted games such as Black Myth WuKong, Resident Evil, … using pirated and cracked versions of the game is a form of assisting in copyright and digital content theft. Use official versions published on game distribution platforms to support developers and ensure the most realistic and smooth gaming experience.
For game publishers and developers
Consumers are very price-sensitive, and price issues are always the reason why games are pirated so much nowadays. Therefore, as a game developer and distributor, they must have monthly promotions and discounts and special holiday offers to encourage players to buy their products.
And in terms of management, using optimized and high-performance rights software like Sigma DRM is also a very important priority. Using quality solutions will ensure the safety of digital content and prevent illegal piracy of game on all platform.

The war between hackers and telemovie producers. How to protect your movies from being stolen? This article will reveal 3 ways that hackers may have used to threaten the Telemovie of the business. Let’s find out the details in this article with Thu Do Multimedia!
1. Fierce Rating Race: The Telemovie World is Getting More and More Exciting
New Term
Telemovie is short for Television movie or Television film, is a feature-length film produced and distributed originally by or for a television network, as opposed to a theatrical film.
1.1. Decoding the phenomenon
The race for ratings in the television industry, especially the telemovie genre, is extremely fierce. Producers, directors and actors are constantly striving to create more and more attractive, engaging and dramatic films to attract their audiences.
With the increase of television channels, online platforms and the increasing number of films produced. Filmmakers are forced to create quality, unique products with huge investment budgets, to win the “golden ticket” to stand out from the crowd.
Audiences have many choices between good TV dramas, so they are increasingly more demanding and demanding. Audiences demand films that are not only attractive in content but also have beautiful images, vivid sound and impressive acting. Therefore, film producers chasing high ratings have to invest in higher and higher production costs.
High ratings mean large advertising and high revenue. Therefore, TV stations and producers always aim to achieve outstandingly high ratings to maximize profits. Therefore, the world of telemovies is a race to “hunt for ratings” to have the opportunity to break through and survive through classic films.
1.2. Revealing 05 factors that make a Telemovie successful
In the race to attract the attention of the audience, telemovie filmmakers are constantly creating and innovating. To create a film that makes viewers unable to take their eyes off, waiting eagerly for each episode and having to talk about them enthusiastically. So what are the factors that help a film stand out among thousands of other products and achieve great success?
The first factor is: Possessing a good script
A good script is a solid foundation for the success of a telemovie. The story does not need to be too new or different, but it needs to have depth, exploiting social issues, and complex character psychology.
Building a complete script, with unexpected details, dramatic twists is extremely important. Besides, character building is also a key factor. Multidimensional characters, with their own stories, will more easily win the audience’s sympathy.
Remember, the 2018 psychological film – My Mister has left an echo in the film industry. The film stars IU and actor Lee Sun Kyun. It depicts the life slices of lonely adults in their own lives, and then one moment they realize: “Life is like that, everyone has to face difficulties, but after all, everything will be fine and then everyone has to move forward”. The touching film has excellently received the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Screenplay in 2019.
Two, talented actors
A talented actor will breathe life into each character, each scene, making the character come alive and close to the audience. Choosing the right actor for each scene is not simple. But it is extremely important. So that the actor can immerse himself in different levels of emotion, helping the audience sympathize and immerse themselves in the story. Fully enjoy each scene with genuine emotions.
“Hunting” for top famous actors not only attracts fans but also creates a strong ripple effect. However, for a film to be truly successful, the most important factor is the harmonious combination between the actor and the role. Many films have proven that young, talented actors, even though not too famous, can still create big surprises and win the hearts of the audience.
The movie “Reply 1988” is a typical example, when the young, vibrant cast created a fever not only in Korea but also throughout Asia.
Three, the architect of the movie
The director is the person who “steers the boat” for the movie to dock, the person with the overall vision, decides the style, tone, and atmosphere of the movie. Thanks to talented directors, the emotions of the actors are complete, full, and their images are most perfect when reaching the audience.
Four, Vivid images and sounds
As mentioned above, the audience not only demands movies with vivid scripts, but they also want the movie to have sharp images and vivid sounds. Because it directly affects the audience’s emotions, remembers and creates a deep and lasting impression. To create quality images and sounds, producers must invest thousands of dollars in filming techniques, editing, sound and lighting.
Five, Effective Marketing
Marketing plays an important role in bringing the film closer to the audience. An effective marketing campaign will help create curiosity and attract public attention. Choosing the right media channel, building a unique brand image, and organizing promotional events are necessary activities.
Create emotion
A successful TV series also depends on many other factors. But these are the 5 most important and core factors that every producer aims for and does not want to reveal the details to you.
The producer’s job now is to create classic films that can “captivate” the audience, take viewers from one surprise to another, evoke diverse emotions and leave a deep impression in the hearts of the audience. The audience feels like they are sharing happy and sad moments with them, and always look forward to each next episode. Only by creating such breakthrough films, will there be a chance to “reach the finish line” in the rating marathon race.
2. Between art and commerce: The fierce race for ratings
Ratings are not only a measure of the success of a television program but also become the focus of the entire entertainment industry. From the “big guys” of the media to each individual audience, everyone is interested in this number.
In developed countries such as the US and Korea, measuring ratings has become a daily activity, when almost every television is equipped with measuring devices, helping to record in detail the television viewing habits of each household. Thanks to that, the rating index is continuously updated and public, providing a comprehensive view of the audience’s tastes.
Telemovies with high ratings are the result of many viewers, proving that the script and actors are attractive. Therefore, some producers make films in a “rolling” style, that is, they film and broadcast at the same time. Listening to the audience’s situation to easily change according to the crowd’s expectations, creating attraction from the beginning to the end of the film.
Squeezing into “Prime Time”
As a film producer, everyone wants to be shown in the “prime time” of television. Because this is the time frame that is watched by the most viewers, the film’s images are transmitted the fastest, and the highest rating of the day. However, with the fierce competition for every pixel on the small screen, many TV series are pushed out of prime time by the station to make room for “popular” game shows with high ratings and lots of advertisements.
Many seriously invested telemovies with educational and artistic values find it difficult to squeeze into prime time, and this makes it difficult to call for investment due to the obsession with ratings.
Unhealthy competition
In the race for the No. 1 position on the rankings, many TV producers and directors are constantly improving the quality of their products and investing heavily in big projects. However, behind the halo of high ratings is a “speed war” and many other unpredictable risks. However, the risk of copyright infringement is always lurking, threatening the fruits of their labor. When works are copied and illegally distributed in the digital environment, it not only causes economic damage but also significantly reduces the number of viewers, leading to a serious decline in ratings.
Investing thousands of USD but when broadcast, copyright infringement occurs, losing both revenue and traffic, making the competition twice as difficult. A telemovie must both squeeze into prime time and run faster than pirates to retain high viewership. This is an extremely big risk, rapid loss of revenue, requiring a large investment for the author to protect the copyright of his own film.
In the digital age, information spreads quickly, with just a few sophisticated operations, hackers can own a film of an entire group. Then it is quickly shared on social networks, forums or illegal websites to attract views and make profits. This makes protecting the copyright of telefilm more difficult than ever. From there, the task of holding the “golden key” to protect/manage the digital products of businesses in the production chain is a top priority.
Like the Telemovie “Go Go Squi” is a Chinese film that is causing a fever in Southeast Asia at this time. However, before fans were waiting for each episode to be officially broadcast on FPT Play channel, the entire film was leaked without subtitles until the last episode.
Famous movie was pirated before it aired
Meanwhile, on the copyrighted site FPT Play, the episodes are broadcast only 1-2 hours later than on the official site from China. This has greatly affected the ratings of the film on the official site at the end of the film, and also caused a significant loss for the official copyright buyer.
3. Screen Hacking: Detailed Analysis of 3 Sophisticated Hackers’ Ways to Steal Telemovies
Piracy of television series, especially telemovies, has become a serious problem in the entertainment industry. To better understand this problem, let’s “expose” the tricks that pirates most often use to steal your telemovies:
3.1. Hacking directly into the film distribution system
If telemovies are not protected as strictly and firmly as a “wall”, hackers can use tricks to “crack the code to get the golden egg” of the publisher quickly. Hackers will attack the content management system, the film distribution agent of the producer, the film studio or the online streaming platform. This is where the films are stored before they are released on TV channels.
Don’t let hackers successfully access, because they will take all the episodes of the business and automatically release them on the pirated film website before the official episode is broadcast. Not only that, these films are also of good quality, no different from online, attracting pirated viewers and severely reducing the official rating.
A prominent example is the hack of Sony Pictures in 2014, when a series of films were stolen and distributed before their theatrical release.
What if all the data in the movie that is about to be released is leaked on social networks? All the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people creating the masterpieces will be wasted, thousands of revenue will be lost due to the decrease in viewership and the audience is no longer interested in each TV show.
The more sophisticated the tricks, the more the producers need to update technology and use the best copyright protection software.
3.2. Using screen recording software
This is the second method that hackers are likely to use to steal business film products after they are broadcast online. Although not as direct as hacking into the system, the method of recording the movie screen and uploading it to illegal websites also causes serious consequences for telemovie distributors on platforms such as Netflix, VTVcab, Disney+, Amazon Prime, etc.
Hackers secretly film movie screens
This technique is very difficult to detect, because it is on the user’s side, right on the screen they are legally watching. With this tool, the image quality will not be full HD, smooth, and sharp as when watching online.
Therefore, leading film businesses often use Digital Rights Management (DRM) to limit screen recording. At that time, screen recording software will be blocked by DRM.
3.3. Stealing accounts and sharing content
Another method that is also mainly used by hackers is to use tricks to attack online users’ accounts using techniques such as:
Phishing (phishing via email, text messages),
Brute force (trying many different passwords),
Credential stuffing (using leaked login information from other websites).
After taking over the account, hackers can post it on forums, pirated websites or resell the account to black websites to make illegal profits.
The black techniques that hackers use to steal classic telemovie products from businesses are all due to poor security, many data loopholes, so hackers can easily “infiltrate” and “break the shield”.
Telefilm theft tricks are constantly “changing”
While businesses are fiercely protecting telefilms, the tricks used by “thieves” will become even more sophisticated in the future. With the rapid development of AI today, malware is constantly “transforming” to adapt to the strict protection measures of film producers and distributors.
What is the way out for the telemovie business?
The war cannot be stopped or “tolerated” so that thieves can freely take away the “property” of filmmakers. Digital Rights Management is a global solution to protect the copyright of television dramas. DRM not only helps encrypt and protect television content from unauthorized copying and sharing, but also provides tools to monitor and promptly prevent illegal distribution.
4. Defend yourself against attacks – Sigma Multi DRM solution protects the achievements of telemovie producers
Digital rights management (DRM) solutions such as Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady have been deployed to prevent unauthorized access and distribution, but current copyright protection solutions are not sufficient and a multi-pronged approach is needed to address the existing risks.

DRM Solution Protect Digital Rights by Thu Do Multimedia
Exclusive Spaces for the Most Special Audiences to convey the emotions and knowledge that content creators have worked so hard to create. But what if only the most loyal listeners could access special episodes? What if they felt privileged and prioritized over everyone else? That would not only create a deeper relationship with the audience but also help content owners build a cohesive community.
This is where DRM (Digital Rights Management) – a powerful copyright management solution – appears as a “golden ticket” to help content owners decentralize content, allowing only those who are truly interested to listen to what the author shares. DRM allows for the creation of exclusive collections, helping audiences feel like they are part of something special, just for them.
Enhance Audience Value with In-depth Content.
When a content owner puts all their love and passion into creating content, there is nothing better than seeing their audience feel and appreciate the knowledge they have worked so hard to create. Prioritizing listening access is also a way to honor the most loyal listeners, helping them feel more valued and engaged.
Imagine:
The content owner is sharing a series about personal finance management skills, but instead of letting everyone listen, you reserve the most important, most detailed episodes for only your fan community or those who are willing to pay for that knowledge.
You create real-life case studies, financial strategies that only your loyal audience has access to. This is not only a way to create exclusivity but also a way to show respect for the listeners who have always accompanied the author.
When your audience feels like they are getting valuable knowledge, not just free information, they will be more attached to you, and the relationship between you and your listeners will grow deeper.
DRM – A Tool for Creating Great Personalized Experiences
DRM is not only a tool to protect content from copyright infringement, but it is also a way for you to create a personalized experience for each audience. With DRM, you can:
Restrict access: Only special listeners, those who have contributed or subscribed to the service can listen to special episodes. This not only helps protect your rights but also helps you create a deeper connection with your audience.
Protect exclusive content: No one can take away what you have created without your permission. DRM is a shield to protect the precious episodes that you have put your heart and soul into.
Create a More Meaningful Journey with DRM
Imagine a world where every piece of content you create is more than just audio, it’s a journey that connects with listeners who truly care. With DRM, you can take control of that journey, protect your content, and enhance the value of every episode you share.
When you deliver real value to your most valuable listeners, they not only listen, but engage with you on a deeper level. They feel heard, appreciated, and they’re with you every step of the way.

Many businesses even rely on third parties, so when one partner has a security incident, they can also be affected.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Han – General Director of Thu Do Multimedia Company, said that in Vietnam, 80% of copyright infringement occurs on digital platforms. The most infringed content is television programs (49.4%), movies (17.1%), music (16%), books (11.2%) and software (6.2%). The damage is huge, up to 348 million USD.

DRM stands for Digital rights management. This term is the use of technology to control and manage access to copyrighted material.
