Good luck, there is DRM on almost every peace of software you buy. Most of it you never notice but it is there. I am guessing IdBethesda Microsoft went a little too hard on their DRM and didn’t learn from EAs blunder. We will probably have another Spore situation here and its becomes going to become the number one pirated game of 2025. Or maybe not, the last Doom game wasn’t that great and I am assuming this one is trash too.
One of Steam’s selling point to developers is that it has easy DRM tools for them to use. Bethesda probably added their own DRM on top of Steam’s. But no for profit company is going to let you pirate software they spent thousands or millions to developed.
Only way for this to change is to vote with your (virtual) feet and wallet and “cancel” games that have DRM, in my opinion.

I refuse to think all good games are the ones with DRM
