Why aren't there massive amounts of complaints? Last time I looked there were. :P I have gotten into quite a few debates on quite a few forums since STEAM was announced with Half-Life 2 (one of the games I was looking forward to most in gaming history, but have not and will not buy because of STEAM). I have presented lots of data about it to very STEAM savvy people on the Half-Life 2 boards to explain why no one should support the spyware, but everyone wants convinience. :P I installed it on my traveltop to play ETW, but it will not go on any of the 4 other computers. Also, I find it an inconvienence to have STEAM manage everything for me, and it limits the amount of things you can go in there and mess around with. :P Not to mention it takes a hit on performance.
Market is right though, it is pointless to argue, and I am not gonna get into a debate about it here. Suffice it to say that this is the only STEAM powered game I am buying, and STEAM is not going any farther than this laptop. Also, true to my promise years ago, I have not bought Half-life 2 (even though it is very tempting), and will not.
