Steam DRM has not had its security measures updated since 2010. It's trivial to crack. Although, I agree that it should not exist.

Ironically this is probably also because of their effective monopoly on games distribution. If they had to compete with other distributors, they would probably try to implement toothier default DRM to attract publishers.

I think they said publicly that they were able to show with data that SteamWorks' mild DRM by itself was enough to severely curtail piracy, and that's why other companies have been chilling out on the highly invasive DRM on Steam
