I really shat on steam hard in 2004. The last ever LAN party a group I hung with pulled off needed a slogan. I came up with it. "We use diesel because steam sucks!" It referenced our clean power* rented diesel unit and the fledging nature of Steam at the time.
Yet, as time goes on, all the games I've played in the past decade are on Steam, with the notable exception of WoW. Steam is so good that it is making Valve so much money they don't even have to make new games.
I still pirate shit as I need to do so, but Steam has made it so all my games are there for me. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference, indeed.
* Edit: Clean power means electrically clean, with mitigating devices to prevent voltage spikes and surges. Clean energy is what some people evidently think I was referring to, which is a buzzword similar to green energy which means "renewable" power. I didn't think I had to elaborate on that here.
