True i am not an supporter of DRM but whats the choice: No DRM = slightly more priacy then DRM = slightly less. 

But not all DRM are bad, Steam is one big DRM. 

Is Steam really DRM or just a platform? I thought it's a platform. Anyone clarify?

 

DRM is not to stop piracy. It cannot stop piracy. DRM is used to piss off legit customers.

Yes, I said it. Publishers piss off their customers on purpose.

Steam is a DRM, but unlike other DRM, it provides a service with the game manager, updates, achievements, ect. In that way it is an easier DRM pill to swallow than others, but it is still DRM.
