The biggest DRM platform currently in existence, arguably responsible for popularizing digital distribution and consequently all but ending the ability to actually own games on PC?
I mean, Steam is certainly one of the lesser evils out there, but I can never understand how they are brought up in a positive light in conversations about games preservation.
Mostly because they're one of the oldest and really the first platform for this type of business and haven't massively fucked up like the rest.
It's like having a slightly above average eldest child and the rest being fuck ups, you give praise to the eldest only to diss the others saying why couldn't they not fuck up when they had an example before them.
