I would prefer the no DRM option to be honest or at least old school CD checks that you can simply crack if you don't want to risk damaging your disk by having to always have it in the system.
Honestly, while Steam has been a nice service for me with the game manager providing updates to games and frequent great sales, the thought of having all of your money tied to a single account is frightening and I've never been completely comfortable with it.
I'm also tired of the games that require some kind of connection even if it's a singleplayer game. Take Dragon Age: Origins for example, I find that I can't play my saved games until it logs into my account because of DLC. Crap like this brings another added layer of frustration and I'm tired of it.
It's pathetic that even if he/she wouldn't get access to DLC, somebody can pirate a game and get it to work while a legit purchase has to jump through so many hoops. What's worse is that with all the user agreements these coorporations have, we're pretty much just paying full price to rent games nowadays.
