    Yeah, if you're not an experienced developer with the necessary skills and free time to fix an issue then you shouldn't be allowed to say anything even remotely negative about it. …

    Having never used such a language, I'm curious, what's the debugging experience like? Can I source level step the application in the original language or do I have to debug the gen…

    Steam's DRM is nothing like the DRM which is causing constant issues on AAA titles. Of course you can apply Denuvo over top of Steam's DRM, but the 'normal' Steam DRM is very easy …
