You're not gonna escape DRM, especially not with Steam; "Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation.". Steam implements it's own DRM.

Also "Steam collects and reports anonymous metrics of its usage, stability, and performance, all, with the exception of Valve's hardware survey, without notifying the user at the time of collection or offering an opt-out.". Sure, it's all anonymous, but that doesn't take away the fact it scans personal data.

Not to say it's a bad system. Much better IMO then having to deal with StarForce.
