Steams attempts to make DRM obsolete

Today Valve announced a number of new features it will be adding to its Steamworks game development suite saying its efforts make "DRM obsolete."

New features such as what they are calling the Custom Executable Generation technology. Valve says their program "makes unique copies of games for each user allowing them to access the application on multiple machines without install limits and without having to install root kits on their PC." Steamworks is offered to game developers at no cost.

I guess Stardock is doing something similar, a few months ago they started offering a service that lets developers use impulse servers to authenticate their games, but without having to install the impulse client.

Good for both of them, DRM is useless
