Steam is a DRM platform.

While Steam itself certainly has DRM infrastructure, it's not required and easily bypassed. Valve allows other 3rd-party DRM solutions, but I'd argue that the built-in DRM is one of the less important aspects of steam.

There are plenty of games on Steam with no DRM at all, including Valve's own Half-Life and Portal games.
