I rather have a temporary DRM then not have a controller at all because of scalpers. But too each his own. The history stuff doesn’t work because the scalpers already have their steam accounts from the steam deck days. Or they will now for the frame or machine. They just buy one or a few of those dumb $1 games, keep it open it for a few days, and voila you got your in good standing account. And they could just create multiple of those. And all that doesn’t even matter if the scalpers are just normal steam users anyway.

Hardware DRM, basically. Hell no.
I would rather they do what they are doing, limit to 1 unit, and have some history prior.
I would even be OK with some level of priority by age or played hours, but I understand this is not something people would agree
Yep definitely would not have bought if they pulled something like that, as effective as it may have been to prevent scalping
