I usually don't either, and I was furious that Empire:Total War was a steam-only game. Games which main focus lies in multiplayer (TF2, L4D) I don't mind having in such a system, but when I intend to play mostly or only singleplayer, I rather be without the need of a functioning internet connection. But I am flexible, and I guessed that it would be worth the effort. This far, I'd say that it is indeed worth the effort.
