You couldn't steal games because you had no internet. So you bought games that required an internet connection??????

It's good that your a software engineer, because you apparently don't know anything about hardware. Steam is not blowing up your psu. What does having 1-2 bsods\year for a decade have to do with anything? Unless you've had the same pc for that long, which could also explain your hardware problems.

Face it, you don't like steam so you made up a bunch of bs. How about just say you don't like steam and leave it at that.
