Buying a game on steam gives you achievements cloud saves easier proton integration and the ability to play online

Also the ease of use, automatic game updates, and supporting game development.

DRM makes me not want to support the game development.

Sometimes id rather use a cracked version of a game even if i own it, just so i dont have to deal with ubisoft's, and EA's horrible launchers. Unless the game gets actively updated or has multiplayer.

One day these shitty developers will learn people are happy to pay if it's convenient.

Most developers have figured it out, seems like just a few executives who don't understand video games.

Slowly these people are retiring and the world is becoming a better place.
