Congratulations. You've just publicly stated you should remove your game from Steam and anyone else who distributes DRM rootkits. Rootkits are re-purposable into malware too.
Will you? No?
Color me surprised. /s
- soverance 10y agoI'm confident there is an extremely large gap between a game developer with an open-source video game on Steam (which does not use Steam's DRM feature or any 3rd party DRM) and a developer who writes a malware rootkit. Like... a HUGE gap. wtf.
- fictioncircle 10y agoYou are aware Steam distributes rootkits, yes? If you use it, you are just as "guilty" as the logic used in the OP.
