(Note: I don't consider the "patch" to be a feasible workaround. Besides legality, which is enough for me, I also want achievements and multiplayer!)
I agree that we need a better solution. I don't like running untrustworthy code and I want to be able to receive updates easily. However, I'm pretty sure none of your three points are actually a concern:
- Under the DMCA, circumventing copy protection for the purpose of
interoperability is explicitly permitted (provided, of course, that you do legally own the thing, and the only reason you need the circumvention is interoperability).
Yes, but what if you get your steam account banned? I have quite a bit games and wouldn't want to get it closed. That's the main issue for me and that's why I don't use the workaround...
