How can this be?! I thought games on Steam had to have DRM.

What steam provides is weak and optional.

I tried and failed to make a joke.

Did you edit it or was it really like that when I replied?

Nope, it's an optional module of Steamworks. (And using Steamworks at all is also optional.)

Yes, I was trying to make a joke, since you read it so often, that games on Steam always have DRM.
