I have 111 games on steam. I can add or remove them from my HD whenever I want and not have to look for codes or keep installers. I can choose to have them auto update or when I choose. Massive sales through the year with Christmas usually having huge savings. Uses about 100mb of ram but I can turn it off if i'm not using it. The statement above "steam has crappy games" ......it has almost all games apart from companies like EA who run Origin, just like steam. If you want a game to be seen by the masses, bought by people who never knew your game existed, steam is the way to go. Just make sure it works or expect tons of support requests and bad reviews.
