I'm very new to Steam. Can someone please explain the advantage of having my game collection in Steam? I always see people hoping a game will be a game for Steam e.g. Dark Souls. But why?
I bought the Humble Bundle yesterday and chose to get em via a code for Steam, but I'm not sure if it's a better option than just downloading em straight to my PC.

If someone like EA did this with Origin there would have been a shit storm. But Valve got a free pass cause they are Valve (and dont get me wrong I love them). Nice to see someone calling them out on it.

Thoughts? I'm surprised this isn't featured on the frontpage. It's a pretty big deal.

Still think it is a bit bizarre to have a no steam no buy policy that people seem to have now. Some people are acting like console fanboys.

I enjoy Valve games a lot, but I still don't like Steam very much. It's not a bad thing that they're questioned on the legalities of being able to lock you out of all the stuff you've paid for.

@Dirtbox
As a recent console pheasant who has flocked to this alternative perch, I swear I had install all my games from one computer to the other after confirming the swap with Steam, am I missing something? your Steam seems very "on demand". Still i'm not complaining the xbox has sat idle for three weeks, a system shock from it's nightly use.

The EULA was put in place to cover their arses after they got hacked and a ton of malicious shit down to them, not to mention the kids trying to scam people by selling their account and telling valve they'd been hacked to get it back. Have you ever heard of anyone having their account locked out?
Razz ... I'm sure if they deem you violated their EULA they can lock you out, at any time.

Steam pretty much killed PC gaming for me. So much fafing around to get anything working.
