Sweet!
But good luck to them... Linux is a pretty fragmented space at the moment. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=valve_linux_dampfnudeln&num=1

What? I couldn't hear you over the hundreds of games in my Steam list...

I said that drm is evil. And also fuck steam.

Correction: MOST DRM is evil.

Steam justifies its DRM by providing a reliable, convenient service both outside and within the games it delivers.

I do feel sorry for the few people who aren't able to connect to the internet 24/7 but tbh that's the fault of their government/ISP/wallet more than anything else and shouldn't be allowed to hold progress back.

Yeah, Steam is fucking awesome. You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

No, all DRM is evil.

Steam is "convenient, easy and oh lol I waste money on games I will never play again lol". I will laugh in your face each day you want to play but Steam does not let you. You are not buying, you are licensing for a limited control.

I haven't actually had any problems with switching to its offline mode myself.
