Should be good once they add in more community options like chat, friends list etc, that really is what makes Steam so good.

Yeah i had a look at that today, looks to be a very good service, could do very well if it pays off since it allows .deb .rpm and tarballs (tarballs being my favourite as i can then store the games wherever i want!).

Yeah that is true there is that, they will also auto-update for you. It's more of a convenience thing.

Hamish - Prepare to be dissapointed. Your question was answered in the next coming parts.

Troy - Steam for me is all about automatic updates without setting up repositories, about having the friends list communication, if i play a game they can see and join me. Steam does a lot of sales too, easy to pick up cheap games, etc etc.

I hope Desura can fill the void eventually.

Revenge of the Titans + other puppygames hits coming to USC

Well for that you could just install via the USC on your other computer? Unless USC has hidden DRM.

Well since anything in USC is installed into directories in / i don't think it's exactly easy to move them to another distro, if that is possible even at all.

This is why i like Desura, if you read the interview he tells you that Desura is portable, so you can take your games from distro to distro :)

Anything you buy through USC as far as i know locks those items to your Ubuntu single sign on account.
