I think the only really fair points here are the always online, drm, season passes, and microtransactions. The rest of that is poor implementation. DLC is great when it's a real expansion that wasn't ready for the full launch. Multiple platforms are fine except when both need to be running like EA and Ubisoft do, but they have been doing that for over a decade.

Spyware is more of an issue for piracy than more legitimate sources.

What do SJWs and censorship have to do with the existence of any of the rest of this? Social pressures will always make bigoted stuff harder to find.

The only reason I see for piracy these days is the requirement to always be online, when the game could run just fine offline. The first game I noticed using that was Elite: Dangerous, and despite their promise to add a proper offline single player mode during development.
