Still waiting for the day Steam bites the bullet and just publish titles DRM free by default

They already do. Steam DRM is explicitly opt-in and the Steamdwork documentation even underlines that Steam DRM is a very weak form of DRM. Denuvo isn’t by Valve/Steam and also opt-in.

he seems to have changed his tune on that. And people did make it known to him.

Changing his tune is a very different thing from changing opinions. It clearly was just a reaction to public pressure, not inner reflection.

I disagree on his stance regarding blu-ray discs. A movie is not software.

Java technology is a critical part of the new high-definition video standard, the Blu-ray Disc standard. This is a great time to be Java developer.

Yeah, sometimes I go so far to buy a game on Steam that got given away for free by Epic. EGS has the tendency to log me out all the time (maybe too many login across a bunch of devices) which annoys the heck out of me.

Ignorant comment

Need to get tools like this hosted outside the US

Where to? Cracking copyrighted software is illegal everywhere except maybe North Korea.

Is there such software

There is an app but is also requires a dongle: https://chargie.org/
