There's been a ton of chat about DRM in PC games lately and Thursday night at GDC, Valve head man Gabe Newell decided to go after such practices during his Pioneer Award acceptance speech at the Game Developers Choice Awards. According to the Develop web site, Newell stated Valve is starting to see entertainment more and more like as a service.

Because of that idea, Newell said, "It informs all the decisions we make, and once you get into that mindset it helps you avoid things like some of the Digital Rights Management problems that actually make your entertainment products worth less by wrapping those negatives around them." That statement was greeted by cheers from the developer heavy crowd at the awards. Are you listening Ubisoft?
