Comment on Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off
You literally said in another comment that DRM-free storefronts are still DRM. Which is it?
Still better than the alternative which is 100% dependence on the platform you bought from. Even the backups you can create from Steam require Steam to unpack, if it stops existing or they stop supporting it then your backups are useless.
No they don’t, not for the DRM-free games on steam. I can copy the files and run the executable.
