My favorite part about Steam is the community, it has reviews, discussion boards, game guides, and more. All in one place for your game. Of course many games have their own websites that can serve the same function but it is nice having it all in one place with one account.

Personally, I like installing through Steam so my friends can see what I am playing and when which might lead to someone inquiring about OOTP 15 and then VOILA! I have a new friend to discuss and play the game with.

Another thing I enjoy is it keeps track of how many hours I have logged on a game and it is neat to see which games I have played the most.

The biggest + is to the developers of the game though. With Steam the game will get much more sales and hopefully rise in popularity allowing OOTP Developments to be able to put more resources into future iterations in the game.
