phazon is using a quote about stardock using steam as their distribution channel to reply to a drm issue, it is not the same issue.

I know I don't need an always online connection to play FE: LH not sure why you do kamilis. I play in offline mode just fine.

FE is DRM free even on steam under the usual definition i.e. you can run, but not install, the game without client software.

LH you can't because it's a "steamworks" title with cloud storage and achievements.

I would rather have passed on that stuff but presumably brad had enough feedback that it was wanted.
