Helps that steam’s DRM is piss-easy to crack, and good indie devs give you DRM-free redeemable copies if you show a proof of purchase (Klei my beloved)

How do you go about getting drm free copies, email them? I love this dev already.

When you buy one of their games on steam (In my case, Don’t Starve), they come with a “CD Key” included which you can plug into their website to download your DRM-free copy. Alternatively if you buy it from GOG you just have a DRM-free copy out the gate.

That mindset allows them to keep doing it

What do you think will happen? Classic enshittification?
Wanting some kind of subscription to still play?

I’d assume something along those lines but who knows how the enshittification will continue to develop. Having crap TOS always leads to companies taking advantage of it eventually to make more money
