Steam also places DRM and states in their EULA that you pay to license the title and not own it. Looks like you're a Steam fanboy. We shouldn't be fanboys of anything but simply notice the good and bad thaf companies do because either way they aren't our friends

Developers place DRM, that's not s requirement of Steam publishing. Also, 99% of digital stores state you're only buying a license. That's a problem with modern society, not Steam.
