So I might as well have Stockholm Syndrome by this time the same way Blizzards hold a firm grip on all those WoW-players with thier WoW-caracters. Still, as far as Steam is concerned, I think it is the best form of DRM out there. And DRM is nessecary to some degree. Think about those olden days where people would just share a ( 3.5'' ? ) floppy around like they were cotton-candy at a &quot;attract diabetes convention&quot;, Noone would see any cash from that ( Argueably the people from Twilight mail order warez did but, hey ) completely losing the incentive for any developer out there to make a game"}
