Is that actually true? I can quit and start Steam as often as I want while being offline. The firewall in my dorm is configured in such a way that I don't have access to Steam but I had never a problem starting Steam up in offline mode, even after restarts of my computer.

I think that I can't install new games but I certainly can play the ones I already have.

My internet connection is a little bit sketchy so I have had the problem of steam thinking it is connected to the internet but not connecting to my account. Then it asks for my password again and will not let me log in until I have internet access. But on the whole I don't have a major problem with steam's drm.
