On: How Valve hires, how it fires, and how much it pay...

I think Steam is proof that most people don't really care about DRM too much if it meets two conditions:

a) it doesn't affect the consumption experience too negatively. b) the platforms pros (e.g. ease of distribution) outweigh the cons (i.e. DRM)

I can't remember the last time I cursed Steam's DRM system, honestly. Most of the time I don't even think about it.
