I strongly disagree here. Majority of the Steam sales are very recent games, and if you are after quality you could play a lot of great stuff for a hundred bucks. GoG capitalized on the 1997 stuff. The way steam changed my perception is that I stopped pirating - why bother when it will be 5$ in one year time, with me having a healthy backlog. (Note to self - finish XCOM:EW)
