> Do you actually think game companies want to add more protection to their games?

Depends. DRM allows companies to do things like region-coding (i.e. market segregation) and also to do things like make a product obsolete, forcing the user to buy an upgrade to continue to use the product (i.e. combat 'abandonware' or 'emulator' movements that try to keep old games around; b/c then you can sell back the same product to people multiple times).
