Steam

[Ominous Gamer]

I commonly rant against Steam monopolizing digital distribution, but thats usually done on /r/gaming since this place isn't...well, /r/gaming. I've been with Steam since the HL2 launch, and I've seen it evolve from pure shit to a very useful piece of software.
I still consider it DRM (as already mentioned), but its benefits for me far outweigh its negatives. Of course, I haven't lost my entire collection of games yet because of a chargeback or other payment snafu. Their uptime is relatively impressive, the forums are useful for quick information but shit as far as community goes, I can't wait till they get over the TF2 hat fetish they currently have, their recent Portal 2/Potato AR game was a huge let down for anyone that didn't devote every waking hour to it (but those that did were rewarded very nicely), and I haven't touched my profile page since that feature was launched.
Am I worried that a monoplized digital distribution market will spell the end of daily, midweek, and seasonal sales? Slightly, but I buy just as many AAA Steam titles from Target clearance as I do from Steam sales.

I also use gamersgate, gog, amazon, impulse (not since the gamestop takeover) and direct2drive for my game purchases. Steam is just the easiest way for me to organize them.

I don't see where I'm accusing anyone for being unreasonable. Maybe ignorant of what Steam is capable of, but not unreasonable.
