But yet when the British government does this, Lemmites claim it's an attack on personal freedom and fascism.

My own physical copy of Hitman Absolution. And the Steam code required to play a game with two physical discs.

Because Steam was used as DRM.

The Devs need to be as emotionless and devoid of personality like me

They did.

They don't need to anymore because they killed the market of physical discs for PC games.

  1. I never said they didn't.

  2. Maybe read the article. It's actually pretty good at explaining the why.

Except they kinda did.

They pay publishers to use Steam as DRM for physical releases.

If you wanted to play the game on PC, you needed Steam.

Steam used exclusivity deals and anyone selling a game on Steam can't turn round and sell it at a lower price elsewhere.

After killing the competition with exclusivity deals and shoehorning itself into physical copies as DRM.

I know you weren't born when that happened, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I'm not American.

And everyday I thank god I ain't.

Lemmites have been doing that for years now

It's a russian propaganda meme.

Just ignore it and be disappointed but not surprised at how gullible Lemmite are.
