I guess i am the only one that loves steam, no more need for the primitive DVDs, i hope all future games come out on Steam, since i never have had any issues with steam at all.
There have been too many high-profile incidents of web-based content services completely losing records for people for Steam to be a viable alternative to physical discs. And for contracts and copyrights to suddenly be terminated and as a result legally purchased digital items being, literally, stolen from consumers.
Steam, and other such content delivery systems, are in a legal limbo which will always end up harming the consumer.
