Steam is Evil

Steam is evil.

Allowing me to search games that I have wanted and having sales on them that cost less than a meal at McDonald's?

 Pure evil.

Sure, when it first came out, people scoffed at the idea of an interface where you will have access to buy and download games (pretty much anywhere there is an internet connection) was laughable and little notice was given.

"Of course consumers will still go to traditional stores and buy the games in a physical medium." Was the mantra of the publishing industry.

Steam has shown them all the power of their evilness; access to hundreds of gaming titles, direct downloads, ability to play offline, and what's even worse and most evil - they run discounts and specials on the games they sell.

The most evil of course, is the Steam Summer Sale, (or Winter Sale, or Thanksgiving Weekend Sale, or <insert event here> Sale).

How dare they give me options of buying a shit-ton (a scientifically proven unit of measurement equivalent to four butt-loads, or 10 grips) of games for less than the price of even one new game produced by mega-house production companies like Ubisoft -and their wonderful Uplay, which constantly needs updating, usually cannot connect, is way more invasive than it needs to be, can break your game or saves, and in general a poor copy of what Steam does - and does it with minimally invasive DRM for the games (at least the ones that are supported through Steam's version of DRM)?

Super evil.

Now they are not perfect by any means, but when they have been a step ahead of the game, they do it well.

Consoles be damned, you can pry my PC/MAC games from my (c)old, dead, fingers.
