What a riot. Everyone gangs up on Riley as if he's the only Steam opponent, but the rest are simply less vocal (or less energetic) about it...You're missing the boat completely, on the Anti- side of the debate.
You've got a point there. The problem is, Pizt is a one-trick pony who's beaten this dead horse into atoms for so long, in so many ways, and has employed so much obnoxious horsheshit to do so, most folks take the opposite side just to distance themselves from his monumental horses' assedness. In fact, I suspect he's actually a Valve shill, using reverse psychology in a devious strategy to trick people into supporting STEAM.
