DRM is the issue not physical. No drm means I can just keep replicating my product when physical fails

    Yeah that's my problem with it as well. People keep going "but steam does the same thing" but with steam I actually have the install on my computer, a computer which valve does not control and they cannot take things off me after the fact.

    Yesnt. Steam can absolutely remote remove your library.

    They never did and probably won't do it. But they could

    They can take a game off sale but they can't take something from me that I've already downloaded.
