I love my Steam Deck and Proton, but it pisses me off how many Steam games are spyware / DRMware and won’t start without internet on this PORTABLE console, and especially that Valve allows this kind of toxic shit.

So, my Steam Deck stays blocked from the internet in my firewall and I buy from GOG when available or get them from other places.

Also, Gabe can STFU about piracy being a service problem until Steam bans DRM and spyware.

You can just not buy the games that have stuff like Denuvo etc. If you keep buying them, of course they'll keep including the DRM etc.

Steam is the storefront, and they have plenty of games you can buy without that crap.

Correct, don’t buy them.
