[quote]Fortunately there is nearly no real crap on Steam
Was that BEFORE Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead? I got the Orange Box a while back and have been playing TF2 a lot. I also had the opportunity to get Unreal Tournament 3 for like $10.

IMO, SteamWorks looks to be the best thing that ever happened to Indie developers on the PC... A gazillion people use it, you don't have to get CDs/DVDs made, it lets you auto-update whenever you feel like it, and it will even HANDLE THE ORGANIZATION BEHIND ONLINE MATCHMAKING FOR YOU!!!
This seems like a great alternative to building a server farm in your basement to host your multiplayer deathmatch shooter.
