No no no! Don't spread Steam hate. If Steam ever went bust because people were lead away from it... God, the amount of money I and many, many others spent on games... I know they said that they have a plan to make sure that no one loses all their purchased games should the service fall through, but I'm just not confident they'd be able to make good on that promise in the throes of financial crisis - I think it'd be messy.

That's not to say we shouldn't demand that they make their site more secure, and that we should excuse or pardon any corner-cutting, but instigating the fall of Steam will ultimately hurt a great many people.

Because one article will destroy steam :/

The more competition, the better the deals for us the gamers so i don't see the issue here.

These things always begin small.

It's common to see 75%-80% off during summer and winter sales - seems like a good deal to me. No competition necessary. Plus there are week long deals. I'm happy with Steam - the sales are very generous, and I think it would be greedy to ask for even more generosity. Sure someone could come along and undercut Steam, but most Steam users, at this point, aren't going to abandon Steam and risk contributing to its collapse, causing them to probably lose all the games they bought. I'll pay a little bit extra if it means I can prevent the total loss of all the games I've bought over the years.
