I'm actually glad people are starting to wake up and smell the coffee on Steam as a whole. Just because Gabe is the head of Valve it doesn't mean they are god or untouchable. Whether intentional or a byproduct, Valve is destructive to PC gaming.
Quit it with the dumb rhetoric. Valve's advantage for the consumer has been:
Ridiculously low sale prices
(can't even be argued as bad for the developer considering how beforehand in the retail space their games would go into a bargain bin without any advertising or would be competing heavily with the reselling market)
Easy storage of your catalog
(admittedly everyone else provides this very easily now)
Finely well tuned social networking tools that are gaming oriented.
(Noone comes close to this)
DRM that doesn't feel intrusive.
(hello Blizzard)
Great discovery service for finding games that would appeal to you.
(They're even better than Apple and I only think that is the case because they are serving only one type of pc application market instead of spread across 4)
Even with the dumb terms being stated I'm still interested in the advantages Valve is offering because I like Steam.
Even though I like Steam I can't consciously support the idea that they can unilaterally change terms my peers don't like and don't provide them access to games they purchased.
I'm beginning to think Valve needs to be sued so people who don't like this EULA can be banned from buying future games but they can still access their current purchases.
That would be equitable.
Just quit it with the stupidity.
