When Steam first started being a thing, I decried it as the death of physical media and fun game inserts. I vowed never to use it, because of what I perceived as the locked down steam launcher controlling access/ability to shut off access to games that I purchased with my own money. It seemed like too close to a 'license' to play. Then I used it for the first time and realized how stupid easy it was compared to managing all of the physical disks and keys and what-not. I mean, I wasn't wrong. But it is easier to use.
