    Again, the very definition of DRM is Valve approval of:

    1. Your account

    2. Your money

    3. The requirements laid out in the Steam User agreement

    You do not own the game, you don’t own the Steam Client, you don’t own the account and buying doesn’t offer refunds for real money. THE WHOLE THING IS VALVE CORPORATE LEGAL TERF. You can never get Steam exclusive games outside of Steam.

      You can never get Steam exclusive games outside of Steam.

      the discussion of steam exclusive games was never part of a question. Again, go download witcher 3 on steam and tell me that it doesnt work if you transfer it to another device. If ti works, it defies that steam as an entirely is DRM, because thats the opposite of what DRM would provide.

          after you have downloaded the game, you don’t need the steam client, it does not use Steam DRM. if youre arguing after closing you can no longer download the game, that applies to all platforms. What the fuck would you be arguing then.

            Again not how DRM free market works. You should not have to download another software to download the game.

            Gaming wasn’t about platform, it was the ability to download games from your computer or CD. No signups or anything stupid like Steam legal contracts.
