Which leaves only the distrust of losing my installed games in the future if I do not have it on my hard drive when they decide to end their service. It is not too serious of a complaint right now, but I often install and uninstall games to save hard drive space. It is why I don't like downloading from either of the services you mentioned. It is good for instant convenience, but it is still you renting the game. You get to keep it installed, but upon uninstallation you might lose them permanently if they suddenly decide to end their service.

I know, Steam isn't probably going away any time soon. I just distrust the services and would prefer a real copy. Still, it is interesting to know a bit more about the service and at least some of my fears are abated due to it being in a cloud only as a backup and not a requirement. I just would never want it to be the way I personally purchase games and I hope we don't start going towards the medium of no cds.
