Hi,
I only bought Legend of Grimrock and enjoy it immensely. I would have bought Fallout 3 and FO: New Vegas, but here in Germany they only offered a violence-reduced version in German and did not allow, like with other games, to install any language. Since translation and voice acting in German versions are usually bad, I reluctantly passed.
I was tempted to buy Braid, Mirror's Edge and Batman: Arkham City, but I know I wouldn't have the time to play them, so...
Not only that, but you also wouldn't have so many great indie developers creating small games with original concepts not aimed at the masses. I doubt games like Legend of Grimrock, Braid, Limbo, Jamestown etc. would exist without a platform like Steam. As much as I hate the DRM model of Steam and the danger of a privacy breach by them, I love them for indirectly supporting small game development companies.
