Steam is drm no one disputes this stop making up arguments
okay moron
see
Works on my machine
steam isn't DRM though
they specifically have an optional (and largely inconsequential) DRM implementation separate from their storefront
Steam Subscriber Agreement explicitly says you are NOT ALLOWED to launch your games outside of the Steam client, even if the game itself doesn't have a DRM.
https://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/
It is DRM, just not a hellishly invasive one. If you purchase a game on Steam and then launch it with .exe it's no different than piracy from a legal standpoint.
>Steam Subscriber Agreement explicitly says you are NOT ALLOWED to launch your games
If you can't even quote the line then I'm just gonna call you a homosexual
>As a Subscriber you may obtain access to certain services, software and content available to Subscribers [...] on Steam. [...] Subscription Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as "Content and Services;" the rights to access and/or use any Content and Services accessible through Steam client are referred to in this Agreement as "Subscriptions."
>two sentences containing neither the words "not" or "allowed"
You've made a clown of yourself now, friend.
It doesn't mention using subscriptions outside the launcher at all, which they exclude because they obviously don't want to offer support to every moron who downloads a game that DOES use steam DRM and expects it to work without the launcher
Steam is a storefront, they don't own the rights to the games they sell on behalf of third parties. If they didn't want anyone using any steam-bought games without the client then they would enforce steam DRM as a requirement for all games they sell, but they don't, they leave it up to the publisher. There are plenty of publishers who release games on steam without DRM, and any copyright issues as a result of that would be on the publisher, not steam.
go back to law school
It seems that, despite having chosen to use it in your previous post, you don't not actually understand the meaning of the word "explicit".
DRM is software. An agreement is not software.

Use goldberg goy
Steam itself isn't drm and valve argues against using drm, it's just an option for those who want it because otherwise pc wouldn't get all the frickin games. And their basic drm solution is piss easy to crack on top of that.
The absolute state of goys.
>Gets blown the frick out
>Tries to save face by exploiting people's hatred of israelites
LOOK AT THESE FRICKING GOYS. JUST LOOK AT THEM.
>Steam is not DRM
Correct. Devs can specifically chose to use Steam DRM but Steam itself is not DRM and good devs don't choose to use Steam DRM.
it absolutely is. When I was in HS 10 years ago, my parents turned off the internet after finding my search history. Atleast I had some steam games installed... or so I thought. clicking the exe for a gamr worked for a few weeks, but then it stopped workong and I would get prompted that steam needs to update and not allowing me to play again. Nothing changed, didnt hace interent for 2 months, but it somehow knew that it needed to update and prevented me from playing??
you're bullshiting because how would steam know if it needs to update if you had no internet?
make up a better story
skill issue
Steam isn't DRM, Steam works is DRM that is in no way a requirement for publishing on steam. Plenty of games on steam are DRM free.
I gave up trying to get golberg to work. I think it's cuz it's an old 2009 game. I'm pirating it now.
>https://github.com/BigBoiCJ/SteamAutoCracker/releases/tag/1.1.0-gui
Try this, its a tool with GUI so there is no way you won't manage to not crack a game with it
Use SteamLess then. It works on most older games as there was an older version of steamworks.
Goldberg + SteamLess crack 98% of steam games.
For me it is the SmartSteamEmu
The fact that a game had a launch error on your shitty PC doesn't mean Steam is a DRM.
No, listen to me!

Then use Steam-auto-crack by selecting folder on your game folder.
You dont need to thank me!
Holy based, didn't know something this convenient existed.
I'm dumb and taking a shit, what does this do?

Why should I use this over the regular goldberg emu?
Steam is DRM as long as you're forced to use their game client to download your games. There's a reason DRM-Free storefronts like GOG allow you to download your installers with the web-client of your choice.
GOG is DRM as logn as you're forced to use their website to download the installers.
See how that works? GOG will never not be DRM until they permit torrents of all their games to ensure their future availability.
>he doesn't know
Reminder Steam only started doing better refunds because Valve was scared of Origin and EU laws. Anyone that still thinks they are wholesome PC friendly corpos are naive kids/bootlickers

Try one of these listed games.
Kek, steam shills are the biggest cucks on this board
Why shouldn't I buy on steam? And if you're reply starts with "what if", you've already fricking lost.
