No thanks, the internet has fundamentally changed society. Software companies can now steal software and hack everyones machine on an unprecedented scale.
The last 20 years of PC gaming has been one of theft and grand larceny by steam, valve, EA and co. We used to get dedicated servers and level editors in games.
The internet allows companies to steal software from the point of production, because 2 or more computers in a network act as a single machine. So that means the internet is one giant world sized computer that companies de-facto own and control because they now "issue commands" to other nodes in the network.
We now live in a digital authoritarian society where we must get permission to use our software and have no privacy if we want to participate in the culture.
AKA the internet has been the greatest force for software theft and dispossession in all human history.
Because of the criminal way in which IP law was coded the public never got any property rights and this has created the greatest human rights disaster in all of history.
DRM in the OS, apps or games is literally you living in an open air prison and CEO's and government orgs can literally spy on everything you do.
Windows 10 is a case in point. There's no reason for client-server software anything for a home user.

We used to have to deposit a quarter every time our character died, and with zero save points.
Trying to conflate arcade games with games you software you buy are non comparable, trying to justify theft of software when the population clearly doesn't want drm or authoritarian software as a service models.
Steam would have never got off the ground in 2004 if we had portal technology, man would have gotten killed.
