dirtyharry50: As for the second one, they are complaining about layered DRM. They acknowledge Steam is DRM in the OP and state it is much better than the other layers being unnecessarily added. It is a legitimate gripe too. Why would you need multiple layers of DRM when one is sufficient? Particularly when that DRM is such offenders as GFWL with its many problems which Steam does not have.
Well in those case they are not extra layer or DRM, the only DRM there is Steam, both Windows Live and the Rockstar thingy, unless it changed very recently, are optional and work perfectly with offline account without ever registering on them. (Current Windows Live IS DRM for non Steamwork games, but for Steamwork games it leave the DRM part to Steam)
A valid complaint would have been against Radnet which forces you to be online to access to some single player content, single player content which was working perfectly offline in the first game.
