Has Steam ever claimed that their DRM (where it's used) is either for (A) Offline compute, or (B) MMO use? Personally, it's not so much the DRM that EA has infected their latest games with, or not even so much that it requires a constant internet connection (though, Sim City was one of the great play-alone games left) - but that they've been too cowardly too just come out and say, "Yes, we require you to be connected to the internet to play this game so that we can reduce piracy." Lying (or not telling the truth) about this obvious situation only makes them look bad.
