Notice that you don't see any postings on SubSim about whether the version of SH3 (or SH4 or SH5) from any reputable vendor is modifiable. Just about the version someone bought from Steam. If they are all the same, why is that?

malware- software that is intended to damage or disable computers and computer systems. DRM is not intended to do that though it can have that side effect *cough* starforce *cough* and if you remember star force was distributed by reputable vendors in their games/software.
Curiosity is my guess and the fear of wasting money as to why the questions are asked i would bet, and if you ask me it is a valid question as to if the steam version is modifiable as are most of the other games that have mods that are available on steam (SW KOTOR1&2 sins of a solar empire etc). the reason the questions come up is that steam is different than having 30 odd cds/dvds.
What is your beef with Steam anyways? it seems that every chance you get you are bashing it.
