I frankly dislike the notion of anything installing on my system I don't know about. any DRM system that operates on that I'll give a miss. Install limiters on games is completely retarded, if they did that in the 90s there'd be a heap of games I brought in the 90s I wouldn't be able to play without cracking them because the companies that created the games don't exist anymore (some cases even the publisher). This gives Publishers virtually control to flick a switch and 'force' people to buy new versions of their game (ie EA sports game disabling pref years game servers requiring you to buy the updated version).
Steam is a step in the right direction because
1. I choose it.
2. it works offline as well.
