Steam purchase or disks?

I have used digital downloads for over a decade with no problems. It's really the same as having a disk. Just that the disc is stored on a server somewhere. GamersGate offers all the SH games. I bought SH3, SH4 and SH5 there, as a bundle for $9. When ever I have needed help I get a real person that gives me attention. I'm pleased.

Steam is massive. Some people have difficulties and you are not as likely to get any help. Fortunately most transactions are trouble free. But write your password down somewhere, I forgot mine once and was locked out of my steam account for 6 months. Wasn't happy.

Oh and I understand that some mods will not work with steam. For example the steam version of SH5 does not support the TDW generic patcher and therefore wont work with the Wolves of Steel Mega Mod.

Summary: I trust several digital download companies but not steam.
