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.

just close the store front when you load the game problem solved, I have 8GB of RAM so the program basically loads everything into RAM it needs and with it just sitting on the task bar it uses 10-12MB or RAM open up the store front/Library/Etc 50-100MB.
