I chose good old cd key and disk check.....

Arent Steam and Blizzard the same? Both attach a key permanently to a user. Games like Team Fortress 2 allow only one user set of stats(if my buddy wants to play he cant have his own character with his own stats)

All other forms of DRM are the complete shits. Anything that requires internet connection or drops the resale value of a game to  $0 is no good.

Your last paragraph is a bit confusing. I take it you don't like Steam or Battle.net either because, well, that do exactly what you hate (require at least initial online activation, resale value = 0).

The middle paragraph is a question, cause I dont understand why there are 2 poll choices for essentially the same thing. I dont like Steam, batlle net, GFWL ect. I dont mind throwing $1-$5 on a full game through steam during their insane sales, but to drop $50-$60 on a content liscense. Even games like Civ 5, Black ops, Starcraft 2(part 1 of 3)ect are worth no more than $10 to me if I dont own the game. Crazy enough I almost never sell games(I do sell rares if I dont want them), but when I get bored with one or hate a game I will usually give it away to a friend.

Same here. I would never in hell pay the full price for a game on steam.

Even if it doesn't run without Steam like Modern Warfare 2, I'd much rather get the boxed version (which I did).
And I've never sold a game either. Downloadable games are simply worthless for collectors like me, since the service will be obsolete sooner or later.

Besides I always get the feeling that I'm paying for a pirated version when I buy something off Steam.
