Not to thread-jack, nor to necessarily defend Steam, but rather set the record straight about Suave's comments. Unless something changed when I wasn't paying attention, Steam is a free program, and the original Day of Defeat is still a free mod. The new Day of Defeat: Source costs money because the creators of that mod made a business partnership with Valve so they could actually make a buck off of their creation. If your friend was specifically psyched about DoD:S as opposed to the original DoD, then it was very clearly advertised as a product that would cost money and no longer be a free mod. This was done both on Steam's website and the DoD website.

I think there are plenty of reasons to dislike Steam but I just wanted to throw that out there.
