Edit: Oh wait, this gets even better. This dumbass was the creative director for Assassin's Creed 3 (you know, the shitty one that tanked the series for a while), and once said that "women are too hard to animate" as a justification for only having male protagonists: https://twitter.com/GenePark/status/1319363853021569025

      Well, yes and no.

      Yes, Steam has DRM, but it's apparently trivial to remove. And as far as I know, it is not possible for Valve to forcibly uninstall games already installed on your computer. I could go on-and-on about how Stadia is much more egregious then

      Besides Valve does have a relatively good reputation among the gaming community. I certainly have a good opinion of them because of the contributions they've made to the Linux community. Nevertheless, they are a for-profit company, and Steam is proprietary software; there is nothing really stopping them from turning evil (for lack of a better phrase).

      Steam's DRM is paper-thin, only really able to prevent the most casual of piracy. They can remove games from the store, but they can't remove games that are already installed on your machine.

      No, I don't think so. Usually the worst that can happen is it gets pulled from the store, not from your library. The only egregious case I have heard of GTA 4 being patched to remove music that they had time limited contracts for.
