It is with great sorrow that I admit I read that as "sow hat" and was very confused. Today is not my day.

Yes, but Steam has assured us that in the eventuality of their auth servers going down, they'd give us ways to continue playing.
Also, any computer than can run the Steam client can install and play any game you've purchased via Steam. An unlimited number of installs, without the need to authenticate, then deauthenticate as you install on a new system.
Yes, it's DRM, in a technical sense, but in a practical sense, it's almost a liberating as owning a 100% un-DRMed game CD that does not do disk checking.
I would LOVE to have all my games on the Steam machine, because then I wouldn't have to dick around with saving CDs or installers.
Seriously. It didn't involve a car at all. Are you new here?
