DRM isn't about stopping piracy, it's about controlling customers.
The anti-modding attitude of japanese tech companies is utterly ridiculous. People were literally arrested in Japan for modifying Zelda saves and generating pokémon. People's lives ruined over some flipped bits of fictional stuff.
I can only imagine this law was created to protect microtransactions, which if anything would make it worse. All this to defend companies fleecing addicted gacha whales.
What even the fuck.
