Introducing the Humble Store
By the big publishers? Conservative, herd mentality, existing publishing agreements, misaligned incentives between publishers and distributors.
By indies? I didn't think any of them bothered, but apparently some do?

I was mostly asking about big publishers. For me it looks like big equals to having no common or even business sense in this case. Which is weird.

Keynes' comment about bankers applies. There's very little incentive for the people who run these big publishers to take risks.

But this is not about risks. It's about not being dumb punishing their own paying users with DRM which has zero effect on piracy. May be most DRM is driven by side ulterior motives which have nothing to do with piracy.
