The only thing that would make sense to me is if running Steam was OPTIONAL for any games that decide to use other DRM methods - i.e. Securom Internet DRM, Tages Internet DRM, etc.

Of course - well, Valve doesn't allow the above for Steam currently. All Steam games require Steamworks DRM and for Steam program/client to be running, at the very least.

The only thing that makes the Impulse version better to buy is that Impulse client isn't forced on the player at all to just run the game. Of course, the Impulse and Gameragates versions aren't on sale as cheap as the Steam version.
