Another big deterrent to pirating games is the possibility of it installing malware in your system.

That danger is almost exclusive to software piracy. The probability of being infected by an evil pdf, mp3 or mp4 is really low if you know what you're doing (i.e. updating and using decent software).

An effective DRM technique would be to spread a version of the game without DRM but with lots of malware in it then.
