[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1243613, member: 24098"] Surprised to see that kind of reaction. I love Steam and it's been pretty darned stable for me on my Windows 7 gaming rig. On the Mac it's been less so, but then, it's not nearly as mature as the Windows version (I've been running Steam since 2004, when HL2 debuted with it). Either way, I'd say Steam is DRM done right (or about as well as it can be) - it's unobtrusive and actually opens up the possibility of porting a game to any computer I log into with my Steam account. If you were a geek in the days of games on floppies with copy-protection, you'd understand just how annoying DRM can be. Especially when some bone-headed copy protection scheme knocked your $250 floppy drive out of alignment :D [/QUOTE]
