This is why I only buy games that use Steam as DRM only when they're ridiculously cheap even if I want them on release (Civ V, Shogun 2, and to some extent Deus Ex: HR). Not that this problem is exclusive to Steam, this pretty much applies to all DRM which is why I avoid games that use any kind of DRM. It's pretty easy to get around that problem by using GOG.com, which, at least according to my knowledge, is the only 100% DRM-free digital distribution service. |
while steam is DRM, they can not take access to your games away. You can allways choose to play in offline mode, or even with out internet. Steam (besides GoG) is probably the best there is going to be on online distribution as they let you back up your games to harddrive or dvd. and you do not need internet to play said games.
