Anyone who is old enough to remember trying to buy digital copies of games pre-Steam knows how much value Stream brings to the table.

If it's not on Steam, I don't even consider it.

That’s a sad take. You are just closing doors on yourself.

I use all the stores available.

As much as I like steam, I’m not putting all my digital eggs in one basket.

The day steam decides to shutdown or remove my account, I lose all those games. No thanks.

Blind faith ain’t for me.

I have a library with hundreds of games I don't play anymore. If Stream closed I'd just have hundreds plus a rounding area I can't play anymore.

I will have already got my enjoyment from the games but the time Steam ever closes down.
