"Steam is a lot better now than it was in 2004, and issues with internet connectivity and always-on digital rights management (DRM) have mostly faded away as global internet infrastructure improve."

Uhm, unless Im misunderstanding this article from a year ago: Denuvo is alive and well, buddy.

And yes I too have a Mac, and mainly just stream to it because the hardware can't cope, but there's no way in hell I will drop the kind of money to Apple to even get close to my mid tier rig to play on it locally.
