Valve is a company whose profit model is based on DRM. They were never your friend. Thanks for proton, though.

But this far they haven't abused that like other organizations.

But... the abuse is literally baked into my original comment. DRM. DRM is the abuse. Just because you're used to it doesn't mean that it was ever ok.

Ya that's true, but other orgs get the market share and start abusing it in other ways. Ad injection. Price hikes. Etc.
