I think this is spot on. Steam's not really delivering anything you can't get by buying OOTP directly -- but OOTP15 will get way wider exposure this way. (I'd be curious to know how well OOTP14 has sold on Steam, actually.)
If you enjoy PC gaming in general, though, Steam really can't be beat. I'm not looking to start an argument with those who dislike Steam because of its DRM -- that's a perfectly valid viewpoint -- I'm just saying I've found it to be an excellent service, pretty much a necessary PC tool for me, like having a webbrowser or antivirus program.
