And you know what it wouldn't be hard. Force users to be online and to log in to steam and if you don't log in to steam which would hold your premium user pass which would enable the randomized access key to the premium/registered version of Steam OS that you're able to have full control over vs the downloaded iso that has half the features and no way to unlock the premium features/using the OS, being able to access the VR Games, access anything up and coming and new releases without paying.
