Exactly. Steam DRM is totally up to the developers to use or not. So don't be mad at Valve for devs using it, be mad at the devs. But remember, if they aren't using Steam's DRM, they're probably going to use something much worse.

Steam is an incredibly user-friendly launcher. They have useful features, and I've honestly never had any problems with anything on their platform. It just works, and that's about all I can ask for as a user.
