All of the issues raised in your post could be applied to any game patch
that is downloaded from the internet and executed by the user.  Indeed
any executable file downloaded.

I actually see steam's method as more safe.  Game patches get
distributed to many different mirrors - who is to say all those mirrors
aren't compromised?  How do you know to trust the source?

The difference with steam, I know, is that they are downloaded
automatically, rather than having to download a patch.  So what, I
prefer that to having to hunt for the latest version, join a download
queue at fileplanet or whatever, then install it myself.  All I do is
restart steam, and go grab a beer/coffee or whatever.  Done.  Always up
to date.

I don't know if steam's files come from one server or they allocate
mirrors, but at least I do know that if they did they would be
steam-trusted sources, not some clan, or hacker, or who knows, who
decides to mirror a "patch" that could actually do who-knows-what.  The
difference is that they control the distribution.  That is good, not
bad.

Your attempted anti-steam propaganda just bit you on the ass.  Try
again.
