Which exactly mirrors Steam's stance.

Steam's stance after consumer outrage maybe. When Crysis and Crysis Warhead came out, Valve didn't tell people what 3rd party DRM solution they used and after people (like me) bought the title from Steam because it was reports elsewhere that SecuROM was removed, they refused refunds to those who purchased the game, even though they misrepresented it. This initially happened with STALKER Clear Sky as well. It was only after their forums exploded that they started listing 3rd party DRM. Don't get my wrong, I applaud them for doing it but Stardock was upfront with this from the beginning, Valve was merely reactionary.
