Tagging 3rd-party DRM-ed games in Store

We can tag games in Steam Store, so I'm asking for your suggestions on how could we tag such games.

I currently use #uplay tag on games which require Ubisoft's Uplay DRM (generally over Steam).
What else you can suggest? If we unify our efforts, Valve will have to notice this and keep the tags, no matter what 3rd-party DRM owners say.

Steam offers a kind of DRM, anyway, so technically all this does not describe what it stands for.

I'd prefer #3dpDRM or #MoreDRM, or something else. Of course, I don't mark games with «#DefectiveByDesign», because tagging them with «Ubisoft» and «#uplay» is quite enough. ;D

Originally I was just tagging as them as "DRM."
Now I've started tagging games exactly as steam lists them, "3rd-party DRM."

Example:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/33210/Dawn_of_Discovery/
"Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: TAGES™
3 machine activation limit"

For whatever reason, it automatically removes the hyphen. Oh well.
So yeah, I'm going with "3rd-party DRM" (3rd party DRM). ^^^^^^^^

I've been tagging them "DRM", "DRM Infected" and whatever brand of DRM is included (i.e. "UPlay", "Denuvo", etc...).

I avoid hashtags, as this isn't Facebook or Twitter and doing so just dilutes the DRM tags.
