where as if you have a physical copy of the game, one you can play without connecting to the internet at all, nobody can take it away from you without knocking on ur door, coming in, and taking it/smashing it, and then it would be illegal...
so personally, i'd only get a boxed version if i had the choice.

I would say used to be true - very few games now give you ownership, even physical copies. You pay for the right to access the information on the disk, and tbh there is alot worse and some very nasty DRM out there that comes on disks with games...
*But yeas I agree with you on ownership, luckily I have not heard of this happening on steam before although I may just not be aware.
