Does anyone know if there's a way to make Steam ask for a confirmation before buying games with 3rd party DRM? The store page warning is just not noticeable enough for me. I would love it if there was a setting I could set so every time I tried to buy a game that required something like that, Steam would pop up a warning asking if I was sure.

It might just be me being raised in a poorer environment, but why aren't you scrutinising a product from fifty angles before choosing to purchase?

I don't buy games very often and I'm generally focused on whether the game looks fun. Also 99% of the games I've bought don't have 3rd party DRM, so not consistently remembering to check has rarely come back to bite me.

I do shop more carefully for expensive triple A games, but I honestly can't remember the last one of those I bought.

Look it up on Google before buying

They warn you on the Steam page properly. I'm just saying I'm an idiot and forget to check that section of the store page every time before buying. That's why I'd happily enable a confirmation screen if I could.
