A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's amazing that a company who's primary product is a DRM system managed to make so many people think they're the "good guys"
steam's drm is a complete joke though? Tons of game developers add their own drm on top because it is so trivial to bypass steam's own.
Their main product is a marketplace/content delivery system
The only "DRM" that they have is checking the game against your steam account the first time you run it. Is that great? No. Would it be nice if they offered offline installers? Of course.
