Bethesda lost the last bit of respect I have for them with this move.

Oblivion was released with a simple DVD check, and sold quite well, was it pirated sure, but, so was Skyrim.

So what's the difference? Simple, I don't have Steam forced down my throat when I play Oblivion.

Btw, I'm still on my not posting here anymore kick, I just wanted to respond to this, since it was the BIGGEST issue I had with Skyrim.
