I don't think most people would do research about DRM. They buy the pc version, find out it has problems and see that their friends don't have those problems on their consoles. So what will the gamers do? Boycott all games that have DRM in their pc versions? Of course not. They will just switch to console gaming. The major publishers keep crippling their pc versions more and more until most customers have bought a ps3 or an xbox360. Other ways they do this include releasing pc versions later, release console-only dlc and removing fundamental functionality like dedicated servers. When most people agree that consoles are superior, they can stop making pc versions.
Why they do this? Because it's cheaper to have only one or two platforms to support, and piracy is not a problem on consoles.
