Why does everybody have Steam?
And why do people act like Steam is the embodiment of PC gaming?
What's the point? Unless you're playing Dota 2 or CSGO and a few other online modes of games there is literally no need for it.
Almost everything on Steam is available through other means (buy without DRM/pirate/emulate).

>why do people use steam, when they can just buy each game separate from different vendors and download from numerous torrent sites

This. Steam isn't that amazing these days, but it's really nice to have everything all in one place

There are plenty of games that basically force you to use Steam unless you are maybe doing something like smartsteamemu. That being said, Valve is shit and so is Steam.
Steam is good because everything is in one place.
Also im an autist that likes to track his game time.
GameSpy was objectively better. Prove me wrong.Protip: you can't

Automatic updates, having all your games in one spot, steam also makes shit easier to install.

Convenience.
I don't give a fuck about anything else.
>Why does everybody have Steam?
Its the easiest way to get games and its popular so everyone follows the crowd.
>And why do people act like Steam is the embodiment of PC gaming?
Only ignorant consoletards believe this

Some games are steam only and their online runs through steam outside of valve games.
>Almost everything on Steam is available through other means (buy without DRM/pirate/emulate).
See last point a lot of stuff is still only available on steam.

GoG is objectively better. People use it more for convenience, acting like a social network, etc.
