You're quite in denial here. User's story is true, and as he explained the effect was "overnight". You're trying to claim that an effect that happened instantly, the moment he removed the DRM, is to do with long term industry trends. But that wouldn't happen instantly.
It's pretty obvious that well implemented DRM works. If it didn't then it would have died out a long time ago. See how much effort the games console makers put in, despite it being a highly competitive market with extreme pricing pressure. Yet, they do compete on the quality of their DRM because game studies are responsive to it.
