Ya especially with DRM or multiplayer lockdown measures.

But there is still a revolution where most game files are JSON or plain text (like that build list from Star Trek Armada 2).

Dwarf Fortress is like this too, in fact much of the game can be modded from such files. I like that, but I do understand the frustrations of the developer who not only saw their games cracked but also trained back in the day. It presaged what was to come heh.
