But it's not condescending? You are mistaken. The publicised studio on steam, the "developer" is a studio. They are owned by a company that takes all the money. The publisher is sometimes the in house or out sourced company that markets the game. This is also owned by a company. The owners, often multi national giant corporations, lobby for drm and none of the terms you use are applicable for these. They are, in games and all media called "investors" of different types. They have separated it like this because they want all the money and can hire the talent. At no point do any creative worker engage in lobbying for drm, because it is not in their interests and I suspect wouldn't be since it requires a full on sociopath to do so.
