Okay, but what about all the games that have come out since steam has launched and ONLY have online-only drm options?

Not talking about MMOs because those are their own beast. I'm talking about a huge amount of games though excluding mmos.

I don't mind ~~digital distribution~~ DRM platforms, I just want a choice. I want licenses to be portable and I want to be able to re-sell licenses for games I do not wish to own any longer. I don't want to be bound to just console games either.
