Live Service Games are games that have continued content additions over time after release, generally in small, single item packages (like a skin for a gun, a hat for your character, or a new character entirely) they sell for at a premium. They also tend to use FOMO by having these items only available for a brief window of time.

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management; it's a form of copy-protection to prevent piracy. One in particular you might see while scrolling is Denovu, which is known to hinder more legitimate users than actual pirates.
