Correction: Steam is an online game distribution and multiplayer hosting service.
How exactly is it a distribution service? It doesn't distribute the games, it forces you to play them in client/server form. I've boycotted buying any new games from these people (including Portal, despite its awesome looks) due to my sheer hatred of this system. I want the things on my computer. I payed for them, it shouldn't be that difficult of a request. But, no, you have to have a connection to Steam to use any of their games.
