but having to be logged into an online thing to play games is not a great innovation
The innovation is that there is a huge incentive to be logged into this extra client and always be online. That given the choice between a 100% DRM-free version of a game, and one that runs through Steam, most people (including myself) would choose the Steam version. That is genius.
