Get rid of the "always online" shit altogether, Ubisoft, Origin.....STEEEEEAAAAAAAM!
But Steam doesn't force you to be online.
It's an online distribution platform, so you obviously need to be online to download the game.
But as soon as the games are activated on your computer, you're perfectly able to play them offline however much you wish.
Except online games, 'cuz you need to be online for those, 'cuz they're online games.

Not for me, it keeps asking me to sign in for playing Rome or Shogun 2 Total War, Recettear ect, then it keeps asking for me to go online, whether it be a single player or not. Ive heard its a pretty common problem too.

That's odd.
When I had my 2 week internet outage, I never had any problem playing any game on my list.
In fact, I just installed Recettear and tried running it offline myself, and it works fine.

DRM one of the dumbest innovations of gaming and this is one of the really rare occasions where you can't blame people for pirating.

Not to mention games that have been out for quite a while now like anno 2070 are still fetching top dollar even on Steam.
