"We see DRM as something which can make the life of a legal customer more difficult," says Michał Kiciński, "so there is no reason to keep it alive."

      I mean, that’s the only issue.

      I put Steam on my Gentoo. Because it works, and I get 0 hassle gaming experience.

      Guess who gets my money?

        Yeah, I don’t really understand that either. What’s wrong Heroic? It’s not quite Steam, but pretty good. And no DRM is definitely a plus.
