Game Developer made infamous for Twitter rants about DRM makes game with tons of DRM, bans anyone who mentions it

Adam Orth became the shining icon of everything people hated about the Xbox One announcement in 2013 when he posted a lengthy tirade on Twitter expressing his love for Online Only DRM and chastising anyone who disagreed. Microsoft backpedaled on the plan and Orth was quietly sacked.

Now he's back with his new VR game Adr1ft which has launched to middling reviews. Surprise surprise its loaded with the much despised (although highly effective) new DRM 'Denuvo'. And he's banning anyone who so much as mentions it.

After several hours of playing whack-a-mole on new threads he seems to be allowing this thread in which he is engaging in friendly discussion with anyone who disagrees with his view and is definitely not banning everyone who says the 'D' word.

I totally didn't just rip this off from 4Chan, no sir.
