Looking at offline games, yeah. While I havn't looked into it in a really long time, I know it was pretty trivial to bypass 15 years ago, and my understnading is that is hasn't changed much in that time. Valve seems happy with it being good enough that just copying the game folder won't work, and thus pirates must seek out specialized tools. Of course, all of that assumes the game in question even implements the Stream DRM. Which is completely optional on the game developer's side. Many do implement it, since they are pulling in the steam sdk anyway. (Even then it is not strictly needed, I've had steam achievements pop while running a DRM free version of the same game before, because the developer specially wanted that scenario to work. I suspect it also requires owning the game on steam. I wish I could remember which game it was that did this.)
