The comment was referring to people who do participate though. If I make a comment about Australians Americans aren't supposed to comment their disagreement
That's retroactively deciding your audience. Once again, I'm highlighting that it's not our only option to endorse the practice, whereas the language of the comment I replied to implied that it is.
No, it's not. The original comment was specifically referring to it being a risk you accept when buying off steam etc. You accept that by participating. You can protest outside the system but your comment is entirely wrong.
Not every game on Steam has DRM, let alone a server dependency.
Steam is naturally a DRM. Offline mode works for I think a month before you're locked out of your games.
Not all. Steam has DRM that developers don't have to use. Once the game is downloaded, it may not even check with Steam again to see if you own the game, even letting you launch the game when Steam is closed or uninstalled. It's not inherent to all Steam games.
Apologies, you are correct. In that case you are right.
