Valve Claims New Steamworks Update "Makes DRM Obsolete"

Lulfas writes "Steam is implementing a new anti-piracy solution that, according to them, removes all DRM. Called Computer Executable Generation (CEG), this system creates a unique copy of the game when it is purchased through Steam, essentially using a 100% unique keygen system. It will be installable on any system, but only playable by one person at a time (hooked into the correct Steam account, of course). Will this be enough to satisfy anti-DRM players while at the same time giving the publishing companies what they require?"

I'm not buying ANYTHING from them, not to mention the fact that it's for Windows only.

You say that like there's games out there that run on anything other then windows.
