What are you talking about? You can't ban a player from a downloaded copy of a DRM-Free game.

    Only a tiny faction of all games are DRM free. And since you do not get a key for them, why did you assume I was talking about them?

    A large proportion of games on Steam are DRM free or have minimal, easily removed DRM.

    Mind you, it's the big budget games that tend be riddled with heavy DRM and anti-cheat malware, so the proportion of a library that isn't recoverable (without piracy) could be higher.

    Makes sense that games with larger player bases spend more effort on these things. Seems like that is pretty much a direct consequence. Just providing chests is a real industry already.
