Steam is primary a money making machine. Its purpose is also delivering patches, content etc. but think.. Steam does a hell of a job for Valve and a really poor job for the little guy [valve steam product user]. And yes INDEPENDENCE from Vivendi [forgot about that one]. I'm not against Steam but no other company has ever used such a method of control for the money. This list is about 80% filled with frustration when you read the mails.
