I am in Steam for a reason. In my opinion its THE place to host games. I as many others I have talked to, are waiting. I wont jump off Steam to have a game on some other game network, regardless how good it could be. It sends a message to future gaming companies that I am not willing to sacrifice my comfort for your profit and gain. All the people with steam accounts can hang on. March is just around the corner. Let them suffer with the customer service and multiple accounts. The other place openly admits they have had shady practices when it comes to privacy, so no matter what, if you take that leap of faith and see other who will not - in the end, hopefully your able to play from another gaming application to players on Steam.
SEE YA on Steam in six months and counting down.
