The reason for that fanclub is that publishing a game on Steam does NOT require you to use any DRM at all. That’s a choice every publisher makes for themselves.
Furthermore, the Steam DRM itself is weak af (as in “circumvention has been automated”) and as non-invasive as it gets (a simple licence check). All of this is in line with their public stance (“Piracy is a service problem”).
I pirate more shit than i could ever play, but still buy games on Steam (But only the stuff i really want to keep playing like Baldurs Gate 3, or small indie titles that are just gems (i have to namedrop ΔV: Rings of Saturn and Star Valor here, because i come back to them ALL the time)
Yeah - but the situation there is literally the same as with all the other launchers besides GOG
For some reason steam just has a huge fanclub that doesn’t accept any kind of criticism

It’s like a fuckin cult. Shit’s been cringe from day 1
How about you read all of the other comments proving your statement as bullshit?
Huh? What statement? I’m pretty sure I’m sharing my opinion and just simultaneously disrespecting people that gargle CEO balls.
Prove me wrong, I guess! 😂
