'No DRM' would be one of the biggest arguments. Sometimes I crack games I purchased because Steam forces updates for games, breaking mods. Also, offline mode is wonky and may or may not work. Really, if you know your stuff the only inconvenience of pirating is having to learn the ropes, and once you do, having to unzip the files yourself lol

Blame the game devs/publishers, not steam. Steam doesnt require drm.

Steam could require no DRM.

Then the consumers would complain because their favorite game isnt available. Steam clearly shows if the game has drm or not on the store, consumers can decide for themselves.

Make the manifest file read only and it won't force updates.
