Steam is overall good. It be nice to have some extra options when buying games. Resell them, get a physical copy no matter the game, install games from all discs. Not only valve and steam works games etc. Oh, and demand all publishers to remove all other forms of DRM when on the steam platform. One DRM is enough. 4 is bs.

i have respect for steam and valve in general.

but i hates PC gaming. the simplicity and streamlined-for-games-on-TVs nature of consoles is worth every penny. also, keyboard and mouse can suck my balls.

I'm an everything gamer, but dislike phone/tablet games most of the time.

That's because Watch Dogs wasn't actually coded. Someone at Ubisoft just opened a notepad and took a dump on it. That's why it runs like shit.

I love PC gaming but strongly dislike Steam. To me, it's just another form of DRM that just happens to have some benefits as well. However, the DRM part reduces games' value tremendously to me, so I'm not willing to pay much at all for games that require Steam.

I pretty much get all my PC games on steam. I don't game too much on PC though. Mostly just Counter Strike: Source or CS:GO lol.

PC is an awesome platform that i neglect abit. Mods, Emulators and generally best performance for games. Lots of variety and constant backwards compatibility.

No other gaming platform can claim to work with games that are 20 years old without having to download and rebuy them.

My only problem with PC is that it's expensive to maintain and is not very user friendly. Also it's not easy to find other players online.

As for steam, it's a great store. Very good sales. And seems to be a greater uniting force in the gaming PC platform. You can get anything except the recent EA games on there.

I've never used Steam but I'm really really tempted to start using it just for the amazing sales they have.

I used to play mainly on PC and just a few titles on consoles. Since PC games started to go digital I've mostly switched to consoles with the 360 and PS3. My PC gaming is now mostly restricted to indies and the very few exclusives that appeal to me.

Console gaming is simply less hassle, less distractions, uniform control method, always works, can trade in games, don't have to watch my monthly bandwidth cap whether I can download a big game.

Steam sales are awesome ofcourse, which is where I get most of my PC games nowadays. I don't really like the fast flood of early access games. I usually lose interest before they are finished, so now I avoid them. I wish you could simply filter them out.

Some things simply don't work on consoles, like building a map for Cities in motion 2. RTS also works better with mouse and keyboard but I'm going to wait this time with Tropico 5 and give the DS4 track pad a chance. Sitting behind a desk is not very relaxing, nor is balancing a mouse on my knee.

^^ Ergonomics with PC in the living room takes some effort for sure.

My personal solution is to use a wireless gamepad (for the games that support it), and we also keep a wireless kb/touchpad one-piece around for HTPC use, and for games that absolutely need a mouse, we have a wireless mouse to use next to that, on a lift-top adjustable coffee table. The coffee table was expensive, but it's cool, you can sit on the couch comfortably, and with one finger, you can lift the top up and forwards to perfectly sit in front of you for playing BF4, Diablo 3, etc. Also extremely nice to plop a bowl of popcorn on :)

I split my PC gaming time between the living room rig and the bedroom rig. With a baby, I end up being in the living room a lot more than I used to be. I really need to upgrade that HTPC rig more. Right now it's 4770K @ 4.5, 16GB DDR3-2133, Single 7950 3GB, 256GB Toshiba Q-Series Pro SSD, 12TB DriveBender array, on a 55" 1080P 3D Plasma. Best part about living room is a truly ridiculous audio setup that would take too long to list, but it really brings the games home. Bedroom is 3770K @ 4.8, 32GB DDR3-2400, SLI 770 4GB OC Edition, 512GB Samsung 840 Pro Raid, 6TB DriveBender Array, 30" 2560x1600 60hz IPS display, and 27" 2560x1440 120hz IPS Display, and some okay speakers. When 870/880 launches, I'll move the 770s over to the HTPC.

I love the consoles as well, but was deeply disappointed in the XB1. PS4 will get a lot of play time with the XIM and Destiny, Driveclub, etc. I'm still waiting on the U, but that will come this holiday I hope.

I'm not a PC elitist by any stretch, but with the right setup, it's extremely convenient and offers insane performance. PCs and Consoles have their own pros/cons.
