| KHlover said: No, it would have been a dealbreaker if it was $20 and with actual DRM. Steam is like GOG: A sales platform. That's what makes Steam attractive: Only Publisher-side DRM (if at all - you can still play most Steam games without Steam, you just need to delete the steam_api.dll and launch it via "game".exe) and extremely good prices (either on deals or regular ones). Get over it. |
Well I'm over it but it seems you guys are still hung up over wild rumors, speculations.
Your statement is mostly false which confirms my statement of people just not knowing what DRM is. Steam isn't DRM free. You have to activate a game upon install which is Steams DRM. Without internet and activation you can't play. On top of that, 3rd parties may implement their own DRM, like EA with Crysis(which blows I agree).
Steam doesn't have an "always on" component to their DRM though which is what I think you're confusing DRM with...
Other questionable points you made...
Why the hell would you want to delete Steam to play a game? You've already registered it to an account and passed their DRM implementation.
Why would you want 3rd party publishers to handle DRM? Thats the wors part about Steam. If Microsoft is willing to do it for everyone on Xbox One much like Steam, this should benefit everyone involved.
