So far the only real benefit of a Steam account for me is that i have no other games registered on it, so if i need to resell the game i can do so just fine. Maybe i should order 3-4 extra collector's editions and put them up on ebay once they become really hard to find
the resell aspect is something i thought about today...if i buy a box set i can give/sell it to someone...but on Steam i cannot unless i make a separate account for every game...which would be a real PITA.

I will use steam for Cod if i have to but will not use steam for any other games.
If i buy a book I should be able to sell it or give it away when i am done...while i do not own the intellectual rights to the book i do own the copy.
With steam those options are removed while this may seem tobe a minor irritant it was that same option (someone gave me there copy of RB3D) that got me into flight sims and consequently got me into online gaming and MOH,COD2,BF2,RO,BC2 and ALL the il2 series.
