I'm actually a HUGE fan of Steam, and its similar option Impulse. The ability to Direct Download video games is a dream come true for me, because I HATE having to keep track of discs. I have been able to download games unlimited from Steam and Impulse, always cheaper than I can get them in store, and I can play without any damned disc. SteamCloud is great, I think, because if I want to jump from my desktop to my laptop, I can pick up right where I left off, and since I do 90% of my gaming on a laptop, about 30% of that is in an area I do NOT get internet. Never had ANY problems. Steam doesn't log in, but you just run it in offline mode and play your game like normal. Keep in mind though, with the games I have played, saved games are on your HDD AND online. I refuse to get any game I NEED internet connection for.
