  I like Steam enough that I haven’t bothered with any other platform.
  I do hear good things about those other platforms, (maybe they are cheaper, and maybe they support old games better?) But all my games are in one spot on steam, and its simpler for me to keep it that way.

  It does seem that there are people really outraged by the news story. I don’t entirely understand, other than people like to get upset about things. Being outraged is engaging and takes your mind off of whatever else is bothering you.

  19 years. And the only bad part was Ubi. That’s it.
  Honestly, with a record like that, why would I care that Steam has had games removed?
  And, it occurs to me, in 19 years, how could they not have had games removed?

  Steam has proven to be a far, far, far more capable and stable repository for my games that I could be … since May 2006. I got Steam because that’s how you bought Half Life 2.

  Ya know what? I can still play Half Life 2. I’ve never had the slightest problem accessing any Steam game other than Ubisoft crap, and now I don’t buy Ubi.

  Add it up, man. That’s 19 years of gaming. 151 games. And I have access to every bit of it, at my whim.
  For some basic comparison, I have a couple digital pictures that old. A handful. And its shocking that I managed to keep track of them that long. An accident, really.
  Steam does the job of safeguarding my games much better than I can.
