Well, Steam has multiple perks, but the major ones are for the developer.
IMO It is just a nice platform to get all of your games in one place and be able to share your experiences with a large community. The community here seems great however, so you might not even be interested in the larger gaming community as a whole and are satisfied with just this one. In the end though, it is an all around win-win for everybody.
With Steam, the developers get more customers exposed to their product, which brings in more income, which they can then put to good use making the next OOTP even better and we all get an improved experience because of it.
