What I don't get is that Steam is not DRM. Why do people keep saying Steam is DRM? You can buy plenty of games that do not require Steam to play after you download them. Oh, and before some of you say that just requiring Steam in the first place is DRM is like saying you need to log in to gog.com to download your titles.
Steam has Steamworks which has OPTIONAL DRM. They could choose not to use it at all. But they aren't. The only thing that makes sense as to why they would be doing this is to try and shine more of a light on the GoG version for the DRM-free crowd. Which is fine but this just wreaks of being sleezy though. I like CDPR and I loved The Witcher games and I am looking forward to part 3 and the upcoming Cyberpunk game but this is sort of bullshit.
Why are game journalists who should know better not picking up on this?
