I admit that having Steam (or any other similar platoform) is comfortable enough for me, and it allows me to save physical space, but DRM and stupid mini-expansions politics are slowly killing this market as we know it, or badly they're shaping it in a way that I simply don't like, nor understand.
So I can see the point in distributing the game via Steam, but I can equally understand who wants to boycott it.
