      Yeah for external DRM, but if a game has Steam DRM, then there’s no official label or warning.

      For example, Witcher 3 is DRM-free on Steam, but there’s nothing (AFAIK) on the Steam page saying that.

        “The DRM is noteable for only protecting against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying game files between friends), and is primarily used by game developers to ensure proper Steam/Steamworks API functionality within their games for legitimate users.”

          Extremely casual piracy? I suppose fair point.

          But now what does each step in the scale mean then. For example what is extreme professional piracy or something.
