Steam DRM can still be annoying if you're internet connection goes down and you didn't manage to start steam correctly in offline mode and then refuses to play until you do connect.

Last I checked you could edit a file to trick it.

Still, the lack of a proper functional offline mode, after all this time, is ridiculous and a bit troubling.

Yes but when your internet is down, you can't search for this trick :(
