Steam or..

Should I invest into purchasing and racking up a big game list in Steam?

Reason i ask is because, I was reading about complaints of steam being very harsh on their clients. Such as accounts being hacked and being closed by steam, and clients losing hundreds of dollars worth in games. I read this on Steams very on Contact Support youtube video, and looked at all the unhappy comments.

Should I stick to picking up my PC games from best buy ? Or should I rest assured that if anything happened to my account ( i recently had a virus so I am paranoid ) I can get my account back with all the games intact with ease?

You are at no risk of being banned unless you are doing something very bad, such as hacking. Even then, the worst that USUALLY happens is getting a VAC ban, meaning you would banned from joining multiplayer only in select games. Again thats only if you are hacking. I've been on Steam since 2005 and have over 130 games on my account and have never heard of anyone getting banned for a BS reason. Keep in mind a lot of people out there post rumors and false stuff to scare people (most likely because they hate steam or digital distrubution as a whole).

If you ever get your account hacked, then simply send in a support ticket and they will get your account back in no time.

go with Steam. occasionally, they would put up great games on sale.

Don't hack, don't abuse exploits, don't try to scam someone. Then you'll be fine.

Just a heads up, there will be a scammer claiming that there's free games or that they're steam support an admin or something alike it about once a month, just ignore them, it's BS.

Steam is the way to go for PC gaming, all of your games in one place!

Exactly... People cheat on Counter Strike and get banned... Then go straight to the forums "OMG VALVE ARE NAZIS AND THEY BANNED ME FOR NO REASON AT ALL!!!!!!!"

Generally don't hack, don't scam, don't exploit, don't have a weak password like 123456 and you'll be fine. Been using Steam for a while and I have nothing but praise for it.
