Default Steam review

Reading some of the posts in various boards I see that there is extremely diverse views on Steam in the gaming community. I have used Steam for a few years so I feel I can comment on it fairly. I Have never had an issue with Steam in the delivery or play of a game through Steam. Whenever I build a new Rig or replace a HDD I simply log in and all my content is automatically reinstalled for me seamlessly. Steam has a very low system useage.. relaistically it has no impact on performance. I do turn off some of the auto features Steam uses to push content, but overall I have to say that after being very reluctant to try it years ago, I am very satisfied with it.

I do not know how the game will be played on Steam servers, or if Hyper Lobby will still be an option ( I assume it would be) But overall the people that seem to be the most concerned about Steam have not really used it. I would say that you will be pleasantly surprised.
