Yes, I know the article says this is coming from Steam, but there are games on Steam that have additional DRM such as SecuROM, etc.

If this is the only DRM, colour me happy. You asked for DRM that doesn’t gimp your game and you got it. It also sells most games at very good prices, has excellent support, great server support and managed to single handedly save PC gaming in the process.
Stop whining.
