I don't see how that means anything.
I'm not much of a gamer and I prefer having my games on disc, I pay more just to have physical copies of games like Sim City 4 Deluxe which you got on the cheap via Steam.
This is because in 2008 I would try to play games offline more than online and Steam is too bunghole for that to be stable. Now I'm only 24/7 so it doesn't matter, but I didn't have the luxury of that in 08'.
