Valve co-founder Gabe Newell made some comments about DRM that drew cheers from the audience when he collected his Pioneer Award at the Game Developers Choice Awards. "One thing that you hear us talk a lot about is entertainment as a service," Newell said. "It’s an attitude that says ‘what have I done for my customers today?" He went on to relate this to DRM: "It informs all the decisions we make, and once you get into that mindset it helps you avoid things like some of the Digital Rights Management problems that actually make your entertainment products worth less by wrapping those negatives around them."
