That was also the only factual assertion I made. I posited a guess afterwards, and drew potential conclusions afterwards.

Yes, uncharitable guesses that were unwarranted and amounted to a strawman.

I’ll spell it out real simple for you since you seem to need that…

it sounds like you’re not boycotting Steam’s

I never said I was boycotting either Denuvo or Steam. You’re trying to imply here that I have a contradiction in my argument but I don’t. The only thing I said was they’re both bad.

so long as it can be circumvented, you don’t especially care, right?

Trying to reinforce your own strawman with more assumptions in a transparent attempt to make me seem a hypocrite.

For the purposes of the argument, circumvention and performance are two very distinct concerns.

This wasn’t mentioned in my comment thread at all until you brought it up and even then it’s only in the context of your strawman.

If it can be shown that Steam DRM also affects performance, what would be your opinion then?

As I said before numerous times, I think Steam DRM is bad. Whether or not it affects performance wouldn’t change my opinion. This isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is.

Here, educate yourself about informal fallacies.
