Oh? Well then I apologize for the misinformation. Apparently my understanding of DRM is flawed. I can probably put some of the blame for that on wikipedia. How does DRM work then if you aren't connected to the internet?

No, after 2 or 3 weeks when you couldn't reach steam, you can no longer play.
It happens many times to people working in bad internet foreign countries.
If they had a GOG game, they could still play, and after several weeks once they find an internet connection they can at last synchronize their saves.

As it says in the article I linked, Steam needs to reauthenticate every couple of weeks but barring that you can indeed play offline. It's not perfect (nor was I making any claims otherwise) but you can do it. If you can't find a momentary connection once every 14 days then sucks for you I guess. Shouldn't be too hard to do in most of today's world I would think.

If you want complete unimpeded freedom then go GoG of course. I have it on both so I'm good to go either way.

I had thought I had gone longer than 2-3 weeks before without a connection and had no issue with GD.
