    Psst.

    You didn’t hear it from me, but there’s a tool called the Peacock Project that lets you self-host (effectively) the backend for the game. Big up to the folks who put it together, it’s a life saver

      Steam on the whole is alright, obviously there are things that could be better but it works well as a centralised distribution platform with some nice extras. Ofc it’s still DRM but it’s probably the best way you’re ever going to see said DRM.

        “steam” isn’t DRM: it supports DRM, but it’s not DRM in itself. it offers the option to devs, and many use it, but it’s entirely optional.

        saying steam “is DRM” is misinformation.
