This. Every since Steam became so popular, a lot of other companies have put in place DRM policies that are pretty sketchy...
I know you can back up the steam games by copying the steamapps folder but some of them will not launch without steam, so if you lose your account you might be screwed. Then again, I've yet to hear of anyone losing their steam accounts.

Also it's funny because I haven't bought a physical disc for a game in a while.
