It is really abusive: Games for Windows Live need for saving you game...

Moreover if you already put SecuROM on the disc why do you need Games for Windows Live on top of it and vica versa, why the SecuROM if one has to jump through the Games for Windows Live mess anyway?

And most importantly: why do you need any of this on Steam?

This statement sounds way too vague for me... I think this scandal now grew beyond the first Bioshock's DRM mess - perhaps time to boot the PMs at 2K?
