But the DRM is not what's protecting themselves from piracy; it's the quality and convenience of the service. Every Steam game is trivially cracked within hours of release, regardless of the DRM, yet most people still choose to buy the game on Steam.
- teamonkey 15y agoThere's the fact that if you're caught playing pirated games on Steam they can easily close your account and you lose all the games you paid for.
- DarkShikari 15y agoWhat does "caught playing pirated games on Steam" even mean? Cracked versions of Steam games typically have the Steam portion stripped out, so one would not play them "on Steam" at all.
