Yeah, he waxes on about how to stop piracy by offering a better service than piracy. Then he allows Denuvo and 3rd party EULAs onto Steam. Both of those can make your game unplayable if you aren't connected to the internet. Denuvo in particular is a computer virus with kernel access to your rig. 

If Steam didn't allow DRM, it'd be in a position not all that unlike GOG. GOG is great, but it's not like it's thriving like Steam. I hate DRM with a passion, but from a business standpoint, not allowing DRM is a very challenging position.

More like if a PC game isn't on Steam its developer is in a position not unlike that of Wii U era Nintendo. Steam dominates the PC market and can easily make the rules. Or Gabe could at least shut up about how to fix piracy. You can't chop down the rainforest and then blather on about saving the rainforest. It doesn't work that way.
