Does anybody have experience or anecdotal exposure to Steam the 'download your game' game portal?

Once Steam is updated, though...I'd be curious to see if you can play it without the internet connection.

(Someone else posted after this thread corroborating my suspicion that the internet requirement is on a per-game basis. Steam's need to update, OTOH, would need the internet, but shouldn't be too huge a demand.)

I think the "Updating Steam" is a generic/default state. It isn't actually updating Steam, and there is no update to apply (You can prove that by reconnecting to the Internet later and seeing no update to apply).
