Although I don't understand or agree with these decisions, if these consumers are happy then more power to them.

I feel the same way about Steam. I've never bought anything from it. Yes, I've heard that Steam implementations can be problematic. Yet people buy from it all the time. If they find value in Steam, then more power to them.

I initially thought Steam was a dumb idea, however after using it for the last couple years I fell in love with it. Let me explain........

I like to design and build my own computers. All the bells and whistles, water cooling, overclocking, fancy lighting, and of course being a powergamer, massive amounts of ram, giant hard drives, and powerful video cards. Because I'm anal, I also wipe my hard drives periodically so the system is always running at peak performance.
The downside to this is, wiping your hard drive also means starting over collecting all the programs that were installed, Microsoft word, Excel, dozens of drivers, Photoshop, and of course, dozens of games.

The true power of Steam is never again losing that disk, having it scratched, broken or worse, having to pay for it again. Download Steam, log in, and WALA, all your games are sitting there ready to be downloaded again free of charge.
The other advantage of Steam is having such a deep library of games to choose from. Once you load in your credit card the first time, find a game, and in 10 seconds its downloading to your harddrive. Its like having cloud backup storage for all your games in one easy to access spot that is always ready to go.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.
