That man is much closer to this newsgroup than Amazon, who quite happily and honestly inform their customers of the DRM present in all their download and boxed games. Look for "DRM: Steam" or "Steam-DRM" in the case of those games requiring Steam. Or you might very (not happily) see Steam-DRM followed by "U-Play" or Games for Windows" in the Amazon product description of those releases with the "Steam + Other" double-dose of DRM affecting many of the current high-profile Steam releases.
