But you’re playing games on steam which has its own drm!



I’m not worried about DRM exactly, I’m worried about being able to play the games on Linux. I don’t love DRM but I’m pragmatic about it.

The problem is specifically this DRM. Bespoke DRM that injects assembly seems like another layer of stuff that will break Proton and, when it does, there will be no one to support it.


Haha, reminds me of when people exploded over the Xbone's phone-home DRM and rushed to Steam over it, not realizing that Steam always had much more draconian DRM from the start


DRM is optional on Steam. There are no convenient installers, but the actual DRM is opt-in from the dev/publisher side.
