    Try opening the article. The title lists a synopsis of what its talking about, which is the three main points: The founder has issues with steam AND games that have mandatory drm. This is not a single bullet point. Read before reply, you just waste time otherwise.

        Nah, if it was just referencing two things the headline wouldn’t need another comma before the “and”. It’s clearly three separate topics.

          He completely misread it. But it’s also grammatically ambiguous. It could be interpreted as a non-essential clause, essentially giving extra information about Valve that isn’t necessary to understand the main sentence.

          It would be weird to include a non-essential, highly editorially clause in a headline, though, unless it was a direct quote. But, in that case, it should be in quotation marks.
