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.

It also slows down my computer when it can barely run left 4 dead because the Steam platform chews up half a gig of RAM. cockfuckers.

I'm not quite sure I follow or I just don't have your issue. I loaded up Left4Dead 2 and saw that it was using up half a gig, but that's the game. Steam was only using 17 megabytes.
