Fantastic game. I bought it for the 360 back when it came out, but for $3.75, I just had to buy it again for the PC.

I can appreciate the concerns, but for me the convenience of it outweighs any of the drawbacks. All of the games I've bought are associated with my account. I can install Steam on any machine I'm using and have access to everything. No digging for install discs or CD keys or authorizations, just download whatever I want to play and go.

Just before Thanksgiving, I bought a $9.99 Star Trek game at Target.
I didn't look close enough at the package and didn't notice the Steam logo until after I was installing it.
Everything seemed to be OK but the next morning my PC was acting sluggish so I tried to reboot it.
The "Windows is shutting down" message was up for way too long so I hit the reset button.
Big mistake!!!!! Boot -- blue screen -- boot -- blue screen.... I couldn't even boot into Safe Mode or any other mode!?!?!?!?!
My data was OK but I ended up installing a new drive with Windows 7 on it and copying everything over. (I was intending to do this eventually anyways but it sucks having to copy and reinstall and update everything.)
I didn't even think about Steam being the culprit until 2 days later but I'll bet it was THAT STEAMING PILE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same here. I've never had any problems either, I've been using Steam on my PCs since Half Life 2 came out. It works great on OS X as well, the games I own that have Mac versions are available to install and play.
It's nice that you can backup your games so you don't have to download them all over again. If your backed up game has become out of date when you install it again, Steam downloads whatever is missing.

I didn't like it back when I had dialup.
Now? Well... maybe a bit too much.

the initial steam launch was utter shit, but afterwards, it's really evened up and become a good platform.

Seconded. Been using Steam since the first public beta, never ran into any Starforce-like behavior.

That sounds to me like something an ANTIVIRUS would do.
I had Comodo and it kept insisting Steam was a threat to my system and wouldn't let me play a single game. It's just a threat to my wallet, but nothing more.
