I did not specifically want Steam (never seen it before, and not sure how I feel about it from the brief experience I've had with it), but I do appreciate a wider choice of games. Maybe the titles that get ported for Steam Play will become available outside of Steam, and become less invasive. Right now there is nothing on this channel that I'd like to buy and can't get in some other manner.
- pixelbath 16y agoI'd think the same thing, but in practice, I've been surprised at the number of games I've wanted to buy because of Steam. Many people might not appreciate it, but I think it's cool when they pop a message announcing Title X has gone from $44.99 to $9.99 as an unannounced weekend special. I picked up the entire Overlord series for $4.99 one weekend, just because it was that cheap. They don't do this with current bestsellers that they can still sell for around $50, of course, but it's nice picking up a cheap game that I know I won't lose the disc for.

Liking the convenience, but want to know that a popular hub accepting inbound connections and open to third-party publishers has some sort of security built in, OS or otherwise. They seem to be going around the OS, and I don't think it's necessary.
