    Steam is a DRM system. It’s amazing to hear people profess their horniness for a DRM system.

      It’s not just a drm system

      It does a lot of things. Apparently developers mention that it even makes adding things like multiplayer support really easy

      Also, cloud saves and such too

      On Linux, they also emulate Windows for game compatibility

      Steam can charge because they do what they do well and hide the fact they actually do a lot more. It’s easier to get an old school game running if it’s steam than a normal exe generally
