I've never really understood the issues people have with steam. For people like me, who used to have a habit of losing game CD's, it's a GODSEND. It also means that once registered on Steam, I never have to buy the game again, I can download it to any new computer I use and all without hassle and I dont even need a CD/DVD to do it. I know it sucks hardcore for people without perma internet connection but thats why offline mode was created.
At this point, I would GLADLY take SH5 on Steam. It also doesnt deter modding in the slightest, take a look at the Half Life series and the number of mods that are Steam Compat for the original HL, and for HL2. It's CRAZY!
