    They haven’t created anything.

    They just don’t allow games that use DRM (any kind of license check as a prerequisite to run software) on their store. Packaging a game with DRM is an extra step.

      DRM and licensing are separate things.

        In the legal sense that having DRM-free software does not mean that you’re legally entitled to use it, sure.

        But checking for a license before running is literally the entire definition of what DRM is. They aren’t “bypassing” anything. They didn’t create technology. They simply refused to allow software that has any type of license check (DRM).

            They didn’t create anything of any type. They just declined games that didn’t follow their rules.
