and that's why they say piracy is a service issue

if the game you purchase can't be played without an internet connection, either always online or a once-in-a-while check in, but the game you pirate can always be played regardless of the status of your internet connection . . . one of those is clearly the better service

for example, if my internet connection is up, I'll play an MMO. when it goes out, I'd like to play Skyrim, but oops, I haven't loaded the game in the last 30 days and now it wants to check in with the Steam server . . . but it can't because the internet is out. so i never get to play the game i bought - what good did it do me to purchase a legit version of Skyrim?

Skyrim is available from GOG, for what it’s worth, and if avoiding DRM is a top concern, you should consider buying from there instead of from Steam.
