Blizzard had its reasons for making D3 req. internet, but they just didn't add up. I've lost faith in new-age gaming.

I know right? Steam is the best online network for gaming. It makes xbox live's paid subscription look like a scam.

10 million more users. Valve is a company that makes money because they give freedom to their users.

Steam is closed up pretty tight with DRM?

It doesn't have DRM, you can play your games offline.  

I will say, Gaben has made revolutionary steps in gaming, which makes me completely respect him, I just dislike Steam for this reason (kind of my fault):

Skyrim PC had just come out -- I bought it. I installed it, and it played without crashing. It just had an ass frame rate. So I went on and on playing it, but then! I deleted my email hooked to that Steam account. Thats 60$ down the drain. And I'm just too lazy to Email them to get compensation (probably wont get any).

This just pissed me off though. There needs to be ways around this. Like a steam version and a normal effing version. That way I could have played it like old games.

Buy>install>play>???>PROFIT MOFOS.

Steam really is only good for people who don't delete their emails.  

Why would you delete an e-mail linked to your Steam x-x  

Personal reasons. I forgot it was linked to my steam, but when I was 11 or 12 I was quite careless and forgot passwords often so I had like 3 different steam accounts for 3 different games.

DRM doesn't just mean always on connection...  

Exactly

Except Steam is awesome and the right direction to go. I enjoy my 10MB/s downloads and how the Steam cloud can save all my Dota 2 settings.
