Well, if you plan to do any multiplayer at all, a warezd copy is going to leave you high and dry. Also, whereas SecurRom and StarForce exist purely to slow down piracy (a job they notably fail at), Steam allows us to have groups (such as the one stickied in this forum), friends, in-game chat, etc. At least Steam brings something to the table besides a destruction of the second-hand game market.
