"description":"DRM (digital rights management) refers to things like copy protection mechanisms that are used to hinder digital piracy, particularly of software products such as games. These mechanisms can cause problems for legitimate buyers, such as limited activations preventing people from installing their purchases on new computers, or account-based authentication that bars people from their purchases when they lose access to their accounts. As a result, many people prefer to buy software without DRM. The above logos are for GOG, a prominent retailer of DRM-free games, and itch.io, which isn't as famous for being DRM-free but does sell a huge number of indie games with no DRM. Other retailers that offer DRM-free games include DLsite, FireFlower Games, Humble Store, GameJolt, ZOOM Platform, and the visual novel retailers JAST USA and MangaGamer, among others.",
