I've always thought steam (or anyone really) should do away with single game purchases and have a monthly fee for full access to all the games, pay the developers based on how often the game is played, Everyone having access to every game would lead to some epic online play... but steam is "for profit" so good luck with having anything good.

So a Netflix for Games. That's actually a pretty kickass idea, basically what Gamefly does, but I think Gamefly only ships out games :/ It'd be awesome though

What's wrong with DVD discs or ISO files from Scene release groups? They are more convenient than any digital delivery methods. Yes the Warez is digital delivery but it requires no additional software on your system and the permanent nature of ISO file gives you the freedom of controlling your own computer!

I still love Valve for Half-Life but I hate the WON shutdown.

I'm cheap too... I like the ISO's from usenet.... usually available before rls day anyway..

I have to stave off torrenting, so I've been buying to feed my games addiction. Frickin' copyright. As far as I'm concerned, piracy is the greatest form of flattery.

The Steam also is a closed source system with who knows what they phone home. Steam is plagued with censorship, there is games that got pulled from it because they are "too violent". Steam is not the open system and freedom what computers are all about. So Steam are for noobs.

Steam had a good idea in delivering pc games for low cost but yeah, those people are very boxed, but then again you have to look at who runs it. Valve software are the biggest bunch of closed-minded people I've ever ran into.

I don't use Steam. Steam is evil.

Steam is super good. Gaben gives us quality games on the cheap. If only they accepted Dwolla, you could buy games with bitcoins after converting them to fiat dollars.

Origin is evil.

I believe Steam has the right business model. Low prices, good customer service, great games, regular sales (as in every day), etc.

Low cost is too high! I expect every software for free. I might reward the work of the coder if he does the work exclusively for me.
