Nice strawman.
Stated was that Steam doesn't offer a good service in this regard. For now Germans have to rely on import to play Steam games uncensored. That's pretty inconvenient for a service whose core virtue is convenience, don't you think?

Steam's DRM is perfectly fine as it provides you with loads of benefits like automatic game updates, achievements, cloud saves, etc.

Why wouldn't these benefits be possible without any form of DRM?

Skyrim's console versions got leaked way before the PC version because of the fact that Skyrim's a Steamworks game.

Why would I care, as a customer, how long it took the game to be cracked? Steamworks isn't a very effective form of DRM anyway. Portal 2 was cracked on release day or maybe a day later.

Gabe Newel once said that if Steam was to close down a patch would be issued to allow for all the games to be played without the need of the client.

Like I said, I don't want to rely on good faith.
