Yeah - but the situation there is literally the same as with all the other launchers besides GOG

For some reason steam just has a huge fanclub that doesn't accept any kind of criticism

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

The reason for that fanclub is that publishing a game on Steam does NOT require you to use any DRM at all. That's a choice every publisher makes for themselves.

Furthermore, the Steam DRM itself is weak af (as in "circumvention has been automated") and as non-invasive as it gets (a simple licence check). All of this is in line with their public stance ("Piracy is a service problem").

I pirate more shit than i could ever play, but still buy games on Steam (But only the stuff i really want to keep playing like Baldurs Gate 3, or small indie titles that are just gems (i have to namedrop ΔV: Rings of Saturn and Star Valor here, because i come back to them ALL the time)
