Third, I am amazed that so many see so little wrong with having "everything" connected to the Internet, all the time. I guess it is the information security professional (and privacy nut) in me.
Even Steams offline mode requires a connection every so often. You cannot play the games completely offline. It requires a checkin period. Granted, its not as short as the Xbox's once every 24 hours originally was. But it still required some sort of internet connection to utilize.
