Considering how little you get for second hand PC games these days its not really much of an issue anymore.

I suspect your comment isn't entirely serious. But just in case, you can easily pirate/steal steam games, but your other points are valid.
One of the great benefits of steam is that it applies game patches automatically, which means you don't have to hunt for new patches yourself. (A rare downside: if a patch introduces problems, you can't downgrade to an earlier version - that is very rare though).
Also, games that have lots of mods are sometimes tricky to get to work with steam. This only occurs with some games and usually the community has a fairly easy fix, but it may not be as straightforward as using a retail version.

I absolutely love Steam. Tracks my played time, updates automatically, install games very easily, fantastic holiday deals/steals...
Steam is like your wife. Playing away from home might seem like the more attractive option and you'll probably save a fair bit of money if you ditch her before you get too attached. But after you've had some experience with cheating you'll see that sometimes it's worth spending the extra dosh on real quality. So you invest in new ways to make her prettier (like getting a couple of GTX 480s) and discover new ways of playing games (adding new ones to your Steam account). And if you're really lucky you'll find she's willing to let you play with others after all.
You can do everything except sell and tell me one game that lets you cheat anyway.
Yup, I've still not bought anything on Steam at full whack. The sales are excellent
its the way of the future!
If you dont care about have retail copys or downloading lots then steam is for you
You can sometimes get games quicker but not normaly cheap unless there doing a deal
In fact sometime I can get games i want for 17.99 but steam is selling them for 29.99
But with Steam all your friends can see what ur doing and play plus On some games you get whats called Steam Achievements which are a bit like xbox ones.

omg, You have never played Half Life 2??????
Pheeew, am I glad they use steamworks instead of that GFWL crap!
Thats funny cause Bethesda didnt make New Vegas it WAS handed off to Obsidian Entertainment who created KOTOR and Neverwinter Nights who where in turn created by the team that left Black Isle Studios when Interplay went **** up who if you are a Fallout fan should already know created the original Fallouts and Baldurs Gate.
So...............try and do a little bit of research before you speak crap.
