Valve isn't perfect though. Especially when it comes to owning games. I couldn't use Asprite on my laptop on my schools wifi because it couldn't verify that I own a 1gb program to draw pixels. Disabling wifi didn't help either. Still made up it's mind on not letting me make sprites for my school assignment till I connected it to my home wifi.
The best part? There's literally a free version that's not on steam that I purposely didn't download because I wanted to support the dev!

Steam has an offline mode though. Why was it asking to verify anything?

None of that stuff sounds like Valve interfering.

Nobody is saying Valve is perfect. But the other companies just sucks much harder
