You don't give up so easily, do you?
We (and everybody in their right minds) won't buy the damn original products IF there are hidden or further applied fees attached.
It is against the Law to steal people.
You already HAVE bought at least ONE 'damn original product' under the pretext that your access via Steam is free.
And you did THAT under a scenario where you actually DID have other choices of games that weren't DRM. Now imagine buying more, to the point where you have ALL of your games on DRM, and any game you could conceivably want to buy was DRM. That's what I mean by consolidation.
Now what if they start charging you for account access? It was free when you bought those games. You thought you were making a choice to use something because you weren't being taken advantage of, ie, forced to pay to access your stuff. But, in doing so, you agreed that they can change that at any time for any reason. You've already signed away the power that you think you have. Any game you buy via what is currently free access DRM is vulnerable to this possibility.
