My aversion comes from what came before. Another similar service is WildTangent. I don't know what it is like now but it has cost me large chunks of hair. It came as bloatware on systems I've had to deal with. It caused all kinds of trouble and then trying to excise it from the system was like rooting out a nasty virus. Blech.
Did you really just compare Steam to WildTangent? Really? I just ... there are no words.
Steam used to suck, flat out, but never did anything suspicious. It doesn't suck anymore (it's been good quality for at least the last 5 years), and chances are if you're buying games not released in the past month, your best bet is Steam and its sales.
Yeppers, I did indeed. That was the first thought that came to mind when I started hearing of Steam. A taste as bad as WildTangent is often very difficult to get out of your mouth. Also note that I do have Steam on my personal machine, although used only a few times for demos, so I am working on my aversion with exposure therapy.
