Gaming - Good DRM vs Bad DRM - View Post

Yeah, there is no "good DRM" at all. The benefits you talk about with Steam are good because of the *service* that steam offers, not the DRM solution. Now, perhaps with no DRM in place at all, Valve wouldn't have spent any time developing those features (or a platform in general) but that's sort of a chicken and egg scenario.

Regardless, my point is, Steam could have the exact same service they have now and have all games be DRM free, thus the DRM does not make a difference and thus isn't "good."
