This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No. It literally is. It is specifically Digital Rights Management. You are using the colloquial term, not the literal. Words do mean things.

You have no capacity to access these products via any other system than Steam. You have no means to redistribute, modify, etc. except for what Steam forwards to you. This is no different than Netflix. It is no different than Spotify.

Denuvo is also a DRM solution, that is leveraged to prevent tampering and reverse engineering. This is because Steam's DRM guarantees do not rise to the level desired by many publishers. These DRM solutions are more consumer hostile, sure, but it's ignorant to suggest Steam does not perform a portion of these duties as well.
