I wish Valve used their weight to cut down on the DRM, online activation and micro-transaction bullshit.

- sensanaty 3y agoSteam's DRM is optional (edit: by this I mean it's a checkbox that the devs can tick if they want Steam DRM for their game) and extremely lightweight to be fair, and it's been cracked for 2 decades at this point as well. MTX and Always-Online BS is also down to the individual games, nothing Steam can do about it realistically.
- me_me_me 3y agoNot many mention it, but it was valve who invented loot boxes and keys (TF2) and season passes (DotA2) they have item market place. They had original steam drm that people railed against at the begining. Valve and Gabe are not the second coming people make them to be. They are the least shitty maybe, but man... the bar is really low at this stage.
- greycol 3y agoI'd just like a DRM filter on steam. You can filter out free to play and DLC so they never appear on the store page. It would be great if you could also filter out DRM (even by type if they're feeling motivated). Then i'd bet if they gave the publisher statistics on how many people never see their game because it contains denuvo or a 3rd party launcher you'd see meanigful change, and if not then at least the store is nicer for the steam customers who care about it.
