Generally people are worried about the "what if" scenario in which Valve goes out of business. Given that they're one of the biggest developers and self-publishers in the business now that's not looking likely. Hell, even without Valve, Steam is big and profitable enough that it could financially support itself.
As for Steam not working correctly, well that's just nonsense.

Given that Ubisoft released previous SH games through Steam, as well as 40 other games, and is releasing 6 more in the coming couple of months I'd say it's very likely that SH5 will be available on Steam. Of course I'm sure people will still have the option to buy from a brick and mortar store.

my apologies, i thought you meant ONLY available on steam. Im sure that it may be available through that program for those who wish to use it.

Personally I love the Steam applicaiton. With it buying the game is much faster and often almost up to 50% cheaper than buying the DVD form the nearby store.

Plus the interface and other options offered by Steam are very usefull. Not to mention that Starforce and similar crap won't be required for a Steam version of the game.

I really do hope they release a Steam version.

At first I was suspicious of steam, but now I like it.
It makes updates easy, does not infringe on my ownership of the game in
anyway, can be used off line; it's great!

Steam has always worked well for me. I'd have no qualms about using it to buy SH5, although I doubt my computer will be able to handle it.
