True, forgot about that. Anyway, if you want a truly pro-consumer gaming, go to GOG. Not because the company is the best in the world, but because you buy the game, get the game files and you can do whatever with them (not in the legal sense, but who cares).
Not single-player ones. Online multi-player itself is kind of a DRM and there really is no way to make it otherwise. Not for a company of GOG size, anyway. And I’d argue that even if Steam made some forced open-server requirement, they would be abandoned fairly quickly.
They’ve also said they’d work on Linux support and that they’d open source Galaxy, but never did.
As I said, not because the company is the best, but because you have access to the game files and can do whatever. I’m under no illusion that they are perfect, but IMO the no-DRM-installers are the single most consumer-friendly move any game store has done. And no one forces them to.

A number of games on GOG have DRM now. They’ve also said they’d work on Linux support and that they’d open source Galaxy, but never did.
Nobody is clean.
