Steam is also extremly restrictive DRM system but at least if you are paying 5-10 euros per game it won't hurt badly if you lose access to it.


I'm confused, how is Steam restrictive?

Must be logged in to play games, at least initial online activation, can't resell games. I think that's the most important parts.


Must be logged in initially

Honestly, in this day and age, logged in once isn't a big deal.  Constant connection is a pain in the ass, one time verification not-so-much.

It's the norm to have a connection for at least a few minutes to download less than a MB of data.  If you have a PC that can run a current Steam game you would need that Steam verification, chances are you can find a way to connect to the internet for two minutes.

Can't resell games

And what was the last PC game you re-sold?
