My biggest problem with this is Steam. It's quite simply the most awful thing I have ever installed on my computer. My machine has caught viruses that were less invasive and destructive. If this provides any hint that future id games will be distributed through Steam, then this may well be the end of my 17 year relationship with id. :/
This is wildly inaccurate. At best, you're probably thinking of the first two versions of Steam that, yep, pretty much did suck. But now, it's an awesome piece of technology. No more will I ever have to keep track of any of my installation media again, ever. No more do I have to deal with CD keys or Starforce or having media in the drive, for my games exist on some server where I can conveniently downlaod them. In fact, I have sworn off buying boxed games forever, because I never know when it'll end up being released for Steam a week or two later.

It's invasive spyware, that's what's wrong with it. I don't like Big Brother watching me.
Oh no, Big Brother wants an anonymous poll of what hardware you're using once every couple of months that you can even opt out of, the world is doomed.
