Steam is constantly robbing me of my money, dropping prices like it's hot. This morning, I got both Oddworld games together for $2.50 (Sorry, GoG, but I'll take $2.50 over $20), and this afternoon, I find out that they're dropping 50% of certain Ubisoft games for a day, throughout the whole week! Assassin's Creed dropped to $9.99, and who knows what they have lined up next?
Has anyone else fell victim to the crazy-ass weekend deals Steam's constantly throwing at the consumer? Or are you one of the vigilant few who turns their noses at whatever the behemoth digital download provider throws at us? Just to show where I stand, I own 118 games bought from Steam.

Nope. Wouldn't touch anything Steam related even if it was "free".

I love Steam and I have 97 games on Steam. Also yes, I am loving and hating these deals. I hope FarCry 2 has %50 off this week and I will buy it, I am waiting for it.

The only games I have on Steam are Valve's own, and they were all bought retail. As far as I'm concerned, Steam is a necessary evil where Valve's games are concerned, and a wholly unnecessary one for all other games.

Yes, I have bought many games that did not really interest me until a big Steamy discount. Most recently, UT3 roped me in through the free weekend.
And yes, this Ubisoft week is especially dangerous ground for me.
edit: 67 games, incidentally

yeah, I might as well just get direct deposit to steam's bank account.

Not a problem for me, everytime I am remotely tempted by a Steam discount I remember that all those games, even the oldest one (with the exception of the DOSBOX one) comes with a online activation DRM are a bonus.
The only time I let myself tempted was for the ID sale and only because I wanted the WAD for some older ID games (like Heretic). For others no matter how cheap they are, I rather pay them full price elsewhere to have them DRM-free or at least with a basic copy protection rather than renting them on Steam.

I'd rather put down my cash for GOG, rather than supporting other platforms.
Given that they have relatively recent games on here (3-4 years old), I'm more than willing to wait and see what comes up on here.
Since there are very few new games I'm interested in, I expect I'll buy retail, as the deals here are decent enough.
The no DRM thing is huge for me, even CD checks annoy me, so the Steam activation stuff just rubs me up the wrong way.

I love Steam and their deals...
I have 21 games, a bunch are mods though.
I got Bioshock for $5, Red Orchestra for $5 and Half Life for $1 back when they had that anniversary thing.
Good ol' Steam....

I have bought too many games on steam.
No longer will I bow to the deals though, the DRM taint is too much.
Viva las GOG!

Yes. If steam ceased to exist my spending would go down by 70%.

yes. Ive got 96 games at the moment

must resist mist resist if they have world in conflict then how can i resists lol

I currently have 195 games on my main account, 35 games on my main backup/lan 1, 17 games on lan 2, 16 games on lan 3, and 15 on lan4.

Actually forgot to mention, I feel justified pirating anything I have purchased on steam JUST to avoid the DRM and running steam itself.
Being morally forced to torrent my own games, WTF!?
But it has happened.
