Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

It's still a choice. I have been on the bad end of these deals and I just said no. I was fired and all.

I don't think they hate it, they just not prefer it. But saying the word "hate" means that it is their line that they won't cross, which is false.
