It's accepted because of things like: - Great selection. Just about any game can be bought on Steam - Steam sales. Amazing, unprecedented prices for games - The DRM successfully stays pretty much out of the way for 99% of users - Centralized game management. I don't want to have twelve different game distribution clients, each with one or two games. I would much rather have just one - Centralized automatic updates. Less of a big deal today than years ago.
