good points, but do note that without steam valve wouldn't have the budget to allow themselves to work on proton, making gaming on linux extremely janky and annoying. and as far as i know valve doesn't give a rat's arse if you break the steam client DRM (i skimmed the subscriber agreement but didnt find a mention of drm), so overall i think i'd rather steam existed than it didn't simply because it helps more people g

et off of windows. making kids addicted to gambling is still really fucking bad though

Well, DRM is enforced by law, Steam probably doesn't say anything about making portable version of games because they don't give you portable files or Steamless versions to install, and you would have to read individual game agreements to see what they say about it. Default GOG agreement says you can legally keep backups of the installation files unless the publisher agreement for that game says otherwise

However, offline installation, no DRM running on the game or other software for DRM check running, it's not that enforcement is unlikely, it's nearly impossible (you'd need to get hacked by DMCA agents) unless you were forced to install their launcher to download the files...

Enforcement is unlikely for Steam as well, but you are one lobbyist away from having to agree to let them scan your machine for tampered Steam files or lose access to all your library

Awesome site! But, curious thing, I was checking that track playing, I checked all releases and in none the artist tells he just copied the 1966 song Canto de Ossanha by Vinicius de Moraes (only on Youtube someone credited a version by Martin Denny as a "sample" - although, it's a full cover, not a sample)
This website is rlly cool, im glad my friend introduced me to it.

Thank you so much! I have to say you have an interesting life story, and I'm eager to learn more about your blogs and the punk scene. By the way, even though everything is in English, there's also a Latin American writer here (from Argentina). :D
