That's not what we're doing. Not giving steam a pass for doing the same bad shit that you hate other companies for doing isn't putting society's ills into steam. It's just not being hypocritical.

    Nobody said steam was better because of their EULA, so calling Steam out for something every developer on the planet does is what's hypocritical.

    Not nearly every developer puts DRM in their games and not every platform that distributes software says you only license the software, many let you own it

    Those platforms are in the minority.
