Yes it does. You can set Steam in offline mode, but any Steam game must go online at least once (i.e. on installation).

Stalker COP only cost me $34 on Steam, but I can't sell it, although it would probably be $64 on DVD.
I wouldn't buy a $80-$90 on Steam, cause if I wanted to sell, I can't.
Steam is also an excellent program to dl demo's.

Technically you can, but you'd have to create separate accounts for each game, so that you can simply transfer the account. This is forbidden in de EULA mind you (at least it was last time I checked).
And in practice Steam-only games with no fysical media are pretty hard to sell. Many non hardcore gamers do not know the concept of Steam and do not trust it. It is much easier to sell fysical media (even if it is attached to a Steam account) than to sell a Steam account without fysical media.
BTW I added Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2 to the start post.

2 more launch day games I'll be avoiding unless Metro 33 gets huge positive reviews, but I don't see anything to warrant that.....in fact, it looks like a dumbed down FO3.

Also added the Ubisoft DRM games last week, since this DRM has all the disadvantages of Steam and expands on them.

I added CoD7, K&L2, JC2, Mafia 2 and Civ V.
It's getting harder to make this list because most reviews do not mention the Steam requirement any more. For Ubi DRM the same applies.

It has come to my attention that your topic has become a complete mess serving no purpose to the netizens of the axis anymore. What was one a hum-drum topic of notable interest has dwindled immensely into the chasm of boredom.
It is of my opinion and of the axis that you segregate steam/UBI and make a master list on the first post as my netizens can no longer waste anymore time on this topic of yours basta mia!
i have also been briefed by my technology officers that some ubi drm may also be present in steam, thus a special indicator by means of elegant color coded legends would be a most appropriate indicator. And now if you will excuse me i have a party to attend to......
