Steam - Do people still hate it?

I Know when Valve first introduced steam people were quick to slate it, and say its resource hungry and rubbish etc. But personally i never had a problem with it.

My view on it now, is that its a fantastic system and it works flawlessly for me. Ive bought a couple of games on it, they downloaded at 400kb/s. Then were instantly playable.

Quicker than going to a shop and cheaper with the dollar exchange rate these days.

Any initial haters been converted?

Whats your current feeling on Steam?

I'd rather put a rampant virus on my computer than let Steam grace it.

Can you explain why you hate it so much? Its just i cant understand from my own experience how anyone can feel that much hate towards it

Half Life 2 was worth it for me, i dont mind steam because half life games have been the best most polished games ive ever played. i adore them

I suppose buying half life 2 is optional though, but if you want the experience they worked hard for, then i think Steam is a sacrifice you need to take.

So, personally i hope Valve continue to grow so we get good games and good service.
