I'm guessing this will have DRM , otherwise it's going to have enormous piracy due to it's "open" nature.

I'm not sure what freemium would be other than "DLC"

He just said the games will be free to play. Why does it matter if they are pirated or not?

It matters if their business model depends on getting 30% of sale value.

You can't really pirate in-app purchases as far as I know, just the main game. And since that one is free, piracy should be irrelevant.

You could definitely pirate in-app purchases assuming they are software , not physical things.

The games won't all be free, there just must be at least a demo.
