well I have been using steam from when it was a beta packaged to also play the cs 1.6 beta (i played cs for a lot longer than that but this is about steam)
I love it, games get to be updated frequently even if it's one bug which most games won't release a patch over one bug, it lets you buy games and gets you the best support possible.
There are also so many options like updating games you want to update and then not updating things you won't want to update.
It has it's fair share of bugs and faults like the friends network and certain patches getting recalled but even then the patches and everything are done for you.
MY MAIN POINT
the main reason I love steam so much is the diffculty at which it takes to crack a game and get it out to download in the warez community.
Now I know that the games through steam do get cracked and can be played but it's so hard, a pain the butt to do so. I wish more companies would use implementations like steam to get their games updated frequently and to keep the warez monkeys from getting the game out so quickly
also if you cheat and the built in anti cheat catches you you are banned for a year and either have to get a new account with brand new game key or if steam itself has problems it can detect whether the game is warez as well.
that's my 3 cents (cause it's worth one more penny)
