This here is an argument that I cannot really understand. You don't buy games on PC because others will think you're a theif. Great idea! Don't support the PC industry, leave it alone for pirates to tear apart. That will surely help the situation.
So promoting Steam is just to make you appear legit I think.
If anyone is the problem in this situation, it's you guys. You assume PC users are pirates. And since you assume that, you assume everyone else assumes the same. Somewhat poor assumptions, in my book. And that you respectable non-pirates move away from the platform further cements all assumptions about PC and piracy.
And Slimebeast, Steam does not suck. It's an excellent service and I gladly buy games from it. Less hassle, legal and pretty cheap. It is actually a better service than piracy in every respect except cost. I used to download games illegaly. A lot. But even worse, I didn't really buy any PC games at all until Steam came along. Now I much rather buy a game off Steam than download it.
Yes, I would also prefer physically owning my games but with prices of steam I can buy up to 10 times as many games as before. That's a significant advantage.
