Pretty much same here, I caved and created an account when valve did the "free portal" promotion arround 2010.December 6, 2005
I was aware of Steam at launch, but I absolutely refused to use it for the longest time because I thought that digital distribution was an easy way to get screwed out of owning anything. I eventually caved,
Later I did buy a few things, but I refuse to pay anywhere near full price for a game I don't really own and can't easilly share with my brother*
* yes i'm aware of steam family sharing but it only appeared very recently and doesn't allow individual games to be shared, I know I could work arround the latter restriction by creating a seperate steam account for each game but that seems like a hell of a lot of effort to manage.
