Steam is great for sales only as far as I'm concerned. When there are sales you can make some insane deals. But full price? Heck retail copies are cheaper than the full price on Steam! Which is why I still buy many physical copies of PC games. 99% of the time you can just enter the key into Steam and activate it there anyways. Mad.

In fact, that is how several PC games I've bought physically lately works. It's just a Steam installer, the game files and a key. You can't install it without Steam anyways. Which brings up another problem, my physical copies are worthless to sell because the key has been used. Not that I sell my games, but remember the debacle when the Xbox One originally wouldn't allow you to sell your physical games? That's been here a while already with a lot of PC games, but I hear no complaining. Strange, isn't it?
