Digital Right Managements are a police that many gamers give them the right (or DRM may take the right without warning) to search as far as their computer heart, just for some games! And police becomes easily bandits, doing illegal, when not controled by us.
For some games, many gamers (Steam is told to be 70% market) let some private police doings invade their computers, but shout after government internet police laws!
With Steam, players don't consider good games are
lovables, as Steam can remove them their games, or Steam boss can decide to retire and close Steam: bye all the Steam games!
