    It’s a developers choice to release on Steam with DRM, Valve does not enforce it, there are games with no DRM on Steam.

    Half baked features? I don’t remember the last time I tried using one of Steam’s features that I listed (and others I didn’t list) and it didn’t work incredibly well.

    Don’t get me wrong, I believe DRM generally only causes problems for paying customers and I’d be much happier without it, but I think Steam’s DRM is one of the least invasive solutions that currently exist.

      Exactly. Steam DRM is totally up to the developers to use or not. So don’t be mad at Valve for devs using it, be mad at the devs. But remember, if they aren’t using Steam’s DRM, they’re probably going to use something much worse.

      Steam is an incredibly user-friendly launcher. They have useful features, and I’ve honestly never had any problems with anything on their platform. It just works, and that’s about all I can ask for as a user.
