Isn't "a lot of problems" somewhat of an exaggeration? I don't like DRM conceptually any more than I imagine most people do, but hasn't most people's ire with it been reddit-level sleuthing / whinging?

I have seen evidence that heavy DRM (Denuvo I think, specifically) caused increased loading times.

Apart from that, every time someone tries to prove there is any other difference with any measure of scientific rigour they find no statistically differences.

Overlord Gaming has done significant benchmarking with Denuvo and after the developer removed Denuvo. There's one on loading times [0]. And others on performance and disk size.

Loading times obviously varied per game, but the differences for most games were pretty significant.
