I've been trying to warn people against Steam for some time, but the fanboys won't have it.

Steam has become an extremely dangerous monopoly. They can close your account at any time without reason and cause you to lose all of your games. Their communication with customers is horrible.

Yet, everywhere you go the Steamheads ask, "Can I activate it on Steam?" They are irrationally obsessed. How hard is it to keep track of games in more than one place? Make a spreadsheet if it's that complicated.

I avoid Steam. Pretty much all the games I have on there are from indie bundles I purchased separately, and fortunately those indie bundles offer DRM-free installers anyways.
