There are open source clients for Epic Games Store and GOG.COM, why not for Steam too?

    Valve offers an optional DRM system that has “steam” in its name, and Steam imposes some (easily circumvented) inconveniences that are also imposed by DRM, but no, Steam itself is not a form of DRM.

      Right, their DRM is minimally invasive, which is right in line with their argument that piracy is a service problem. If they offer a service where you can pay for games, have them licensed to a user account, and make the experience flow without interruption, people will accept it.

      I was really mostly joking and what you’re saying is accurate.
