It's really too early to tell with the Valve hack. Until Valve have had more time to completely investigate the incident we can't say how bad it is. In Valve's favour, the hack was done through the forums so it might not be as bad as the PSN hack (at least on the surface); they only had to close down the forums and most of the damage seems to be more concerned with the forums than the actual service.
For PSN, the service was hacked directly resulting in massive closure of service. It was also the first major gaming hack to take place. Since then numerous devs and publishers have also been targeted. I think people are more forgiving now that it's happened industry-wide.
