But I don't think games from Valve itself has DRM. I've got GMod, and as far as I know I could go into any internet cafe and clog up all the hard drives by downloading it on each PC.

By the way, I Googled "gmod drm" and found this. Garry Newman is awesome.

Games from valve which use steam generally require an internet connection to be playable, there's been many a time when my internet has gone down and I've been unable to play my titles offline (even although there technically is the option to do this on steam....). It's not intrusive at all but it is there!

As for the next gen xbox having no Disc Drive, surely not? That's only going to hurt sales. The level of internet connected homes isn't anywhere near high enough for that to be a viable business model. I know when I lived in the Student Halls of Residence everybody had a games console but none of them could get online because of really, really strict JANET user policy which locked down everything that it didn't consider "Relevant to student studies" (luckily I managed to SSH tunnel and get access!)
