I'm not a Steam hater but recently I was considering boycotting Steam(the whole removal of Hatred from Greenlight thing) & it was then I realized just how much of a monopoly Steam has on gaming. If I had boycotted Steam I would've severely limited my game library. Try playing a game without Steam. Sure, sure they are out there, but so many are on Steam that it's gaming suicide to not use Steam, at least for me it is. The actual program & it's features I like, but I don't like the monopoly Steam has. It would be great if NA was released with it's own launcher as well as a Steam release. I like it when game devs give me other options other than just Steam.
