I would have given Amazon my money but they don't like anyone outside North America digital downloading.

You do not "own" any software that you buy you "own" for lack of a better term the right to use the software within the guidelines of the ELUA.
Sorry to hear about your Steam experience but you must have had lax security or a very poor password for your Steam account to have been hacked in the first place.
You should have contacted Steam and informed them that your account had been hacked as if it had they would not have punished you and would have reactivated your account.
Again though you do not own the game(or any software)you have if purchased legally you have the right to utilize the game.Furthermore you do not have to be logged in to play your Steam games you can play them in offline mode.Not being a Steam fan boy here or anything but I think there is more to this story.
You wont like Gamers Gate very much either because I am guessing about 40% of their games require a Steam account to activate.
