OK, I stand corrected. The DRM is resident on your machine, not the remote site. Thank you, TDW, for the explanation. But the fact remains that you don't have the executable code. It is locked up in a packed format on your disk and only unpacked at runtime. So, as I said, it's not really your code. I didn't mean to imply that you can't mod the data files - certainly you can. But you can't modify the executable, which is the game engine, because Steam won't let you. You didn't buy that. You just leased the use of it.
