Does anybody have experience or anecdotal exposure to Steam the 'download your game' game portal?

Unless they've changed something recently, you don't need a connection to play, just to download. You put Steam into offline mode to do it. I'd use it to update games on one system (in live mode) while playing the game on another in offline.

I've never had any problems with Steam, personally, though I come and go on games -- haven't played a Steam game for a while now, but I like that they're waiting for me, and that I can download them again if I vape my computer. Cloud save games make it even easier to switch systems.
