I remember watching a commentary of a Half-Life 2 speedrun where one of the runners mentioned he had to leave the game running indefinitely to prevent it from updating (as one of the glitches needed to do the speedrun had been patched out).
And yet when I point out that Steam is the ultimate in invasive DRM systems I still routinely get "What? Invasive? How?" I mean, you can keep Valve from poking around in your machine at will by disconnecting it from the internet and they won't send jackbooted thugs to your house to hook it back up, so I guess they could still get worse...
