If EA made Steam everyone would be constantly complaining about how it's the worst thing ever
Do you not remember the HL2 release? Steam was the worst thing ever. Everybody hated it, and it took years for it to improve to a point where it's considered a good service.
Sure, some restrictions are annoying, and single-use registration codes are horrible and would probably be illegal if laws were made to protect customers from big businesses instead of the other way around, but it's worth putting up with for the chance to get 90% off a big bundle every Christmas.
