It's not the same system, but I purchased rFactor which is also a download only - no packaging. As long as their are mechanisms in place for perpetual use (ie, computer crashes and you need to reinstall 3 years later), I'm all for this model.

Definitely a good sign for developers. I was one of the few supporters of the Steam idea when it came out. Good to see some news about it being seen in a positive light.
I have to say I'm a convert. When I first started using Steam, it was buggy as hell, crashed all the time and very slow. Now it's been nothing but smooth. Haven't had any problems since HL2 came out. I don't get that boot from server "go download the latest patch now!" message whenever I try to play online like I do in BF1942/DC...very nice.
