STEAM Gaming

I like the idea of digital downloads for computer games.  I am thinking of getting a STEAM account to buy and play games.  Does anyone here have any thoughts or opinions about STEAM accounts or maybe alternative services?

LOL, I guess many people like STEAM.  I just remember STEAM being crappy, but then again, that was 8+ years ago.

Thanks!
Haha STEAM pretty much runs digital gaming for PC. In fact there is now cross-platform play first introduced with Portal 2 between STEAM and PS3.
also some games are cross platform PC & MAC...
@HainKurt is right but STEAM is fully MAC compatible now so more games are going to be MAC friendly.
Thanks

Just another point. Steam have always made it clear with their DRM system that in the event of Steam closing they would make all purchased games DRM free.  To date they are the only online game supplier to do this.
I don't have anymore points to assign, but that is a really good information.  I actually was wondering about that fact..., thanks.
No problem  - strangely I seem to be OK for points right now :)
Time zone meant I missed this one but thought it would be relevant.
