But that is exactly the same with GOG.com for most of their windows games. They are msi files, meaning they are using the windows installer...
GOG have never used .msi files, they use their own installer. You might be thinking about the HumbleBundle or IndieRoyale offerings which sometimes used .msi (not that I see any problem with it) or .zip files as well as standalone .exe installers.
I just checked, you are right, I was wrong on that, good catch. And I donｴt see a problem with it either, because I think the risk that microsoft starts blocking installs for no apparent reason is very unlikely. Even less likely than Valve going at of business. Though for valve going out of business there are already third party steam-clients that allow installation of your ... uhm .. backups. Which makes the claim that you are at risk of losing your steam library as well not a very likely scenario, even more so with the DRM-Free games on steam. Well, at least if you keep your own backups, which to be totally honest I bet no one has.
Or, you know, we just don't spend our lives worrying about worst-case scenarios.
When someone knows that using services and products with DRM contributes to its proliferation but they still use them, it means simply what Gamlber said. I.e. the lack of care about it (or feeling of responsibility to put it differently).
Would you give it a rest, for crying out loud. The whole world doesn't see DRM as "the devil". Get over it.
Which would be exactly his point. ;-)
