i hate steam as much as the next drm-hater but this is... actually... surprisingly responsible
Valve could probably do a lot more to protect gamers but also they are actually very good about requiring disclosures that they absolutely don't have to have, like third party accounts, Denuvo, EULA, kernel anti-cheat, etc.
I agree with you on DRM, but it is worth noting that Value is a rare case where despite having a dominant market position, they continue to offer and improve the best client experience.
Not without missteps of course, but there are nowhere near as bad as Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc.
